  I’ve enjoyed riding my Americano Rohloff so much that I decided to upgrade our tandem…..gave our Burley Tosa to one of our sons and bought the new Co-Motion Speedster Rohloff….we have it geared with the 50T / 20T sprokets which I recommend for hilly roads and especially if you load it up for touring…..can’t wait to show it off at this year’s Northwest Tandem Rally in Salem.
