Might sound a bit catty of me, but I saw enough evidence of bad filing on those fillets (gouging the tubing adjacent to the fillet) to make me not want to ride one. That and the normal (single bike) sized fork blades - even in the CR period and before, good tandems had larger forks. OK for small riders, but I am not one.

Pretty work though...
