Help Us Build Our Dream Tandem!
We are currently compiling the components we will use to build our Bilenky tandem. This web page contains descriptions and pictures of the specific parts and accessories we would like to have complete our bike. Additionally, there are PayPal buttons so you can help us put our bike together! We are looking forward to touring on our Bilenky during not only our European honeymoon, but for many years of two wheeled travel to come. Check back often for updates on the page!

-Our Bilenky will be a jade green. Not unlike this one:
-This bike is rolling with ALOT more cargo than we will need but you get the idea.
-How does one transport such a beast?
-Easy!
