Two for tea

Bilenky Cycle Works

This gorgeous tandem can join you anywhere in the world.  Six couplers allows the bike to be broken down into a single suitcase without sacrificing the frame's integrity.  Typically I trust collapsible frames as much as I do carbon fiber which is not much.  However, the ability to travel a bike overseas is a benefit that far outweighs (literally) the benefit of an ultralight bike that will only last 20,000 miles.  Bilenky has mastered fillet-brazing bike joints to add stability especially to weight bearing tandems.  The video below introduces Bilenky as well as the technique.
