Now
renamed the Gulfstream
is
here!
The classic and now obsolete Duplex shown at the right has set the standard for long wheel base
recumbent tandems for years but we've decided that it is now time to
raise the bar. For 2004, Longbikes has now
introduced the new
Gulfstream, shown below in Team White Pearl, it's design is refined to provide the same performance,
craftsmanship and excellence as the popular Slipstream.
 Some
of the changes are:
1st: Appearance closer to the Slipstream.
2nd: The seats are lower, captain 1+"lower and the stoker almost 3" lower.
3rd: The components have been re-spec'd and the price has been lowered by a few
hundred dollars.
4th: It will share more of the Slipstream frame components to help reduce the
price to
$4,295.00 base price.
The style, mechanics, comfort and durability is
legendary. If your goal is a cruise to the coffee shop or across
the
country, you just prefer a long wheel base, this bike is for you.
If a short wheelbase tandem suits you better, check out the
Jetstream as it progresses over the next month.

Comfort:
Standard "Hip Hinge" seat provides for independent
adjustment of seat tilt and back recline. Seat bottom
rotates on the mount for tilt adjustment from 95-115 degrees
seat back angle in 5 degree increments. Dual struts to the
frame support the seat assy. |
Quality:
We don't like wimpy components. Our dovetail seat rail and
slide are examples of our attitude toward proper design. |
