Re: Re:

Not wanting to take anything away from the winner, and I'm no tandem expert, but I have to ask - is the chainset arrangement how it would have been run? The weight of the chain is making it hang and I can forsee lots of derailing up front. It would make more sense to site the chainset at the stokers bottom bracket

The set up you see here was popular with the French randonneurs. I don't know that there is an advantage so much as a tradition to the set up like a nod to tradition. I can say from riding it around a bit it shiftsf ine but you can not cross the gears due to the slack chain.
