The Giordano Viaggio tandem bike encourages you as well as a good friend or family members member to share the thrill of cycling.

Aluminum Frame Lamborghini Viaggio Tandem Bike

The Viaggio Tandem Road Bike sports a customized lightweight aluminum frame, weighing in at a surprising 42.5 pounds with all components installed.  Thats only less than a Huffy 26-Inch Ladies Arlington Bike!

The Frame size is: 20 inches (front), 16 inches (rear) with a 31-inch stand over with 21-inch top tube length (front), 28-inch stand over (rear) geometry.   This comes in one size only, so hopefully the two bikers have a similar geometry.

With the right seat adjustment people as tall as 6 ft report no problems riding or in stoker seat, and extended seat posts can be purchased on line if you need more.

Although the frame is long and stiff, its not uncomfortable.  The long wheel base helps to smooth out the ride same as with a long wheel base car.  So it might actually be smoother than the super light road bike  you used to which can absorb the road.

Lamborghini Viaggio Tandem Bike Name Brand Components

No one can argue with the Shimano brand name, grant you these are lower end components, but at the lower end of the Shimano line which is very adequate.

The Brake levers and shifters are integrated using a Shimano ST2300 STI 8 Speed shifter and Shimano STI integrated with shifters.

The Front derailleur is a Shimano FD M191, and the rear Shimano RD TX51D.  And the Shimano name doesn’t stop there, add to that the Shimano CS HD30 11-30 8 speed FreeWheel.

The Crank Set is A106PP40T steel black with  a  28/38/48 x 170mm alloy, silver crank.

The front fork is steel for needed strength and the wheels High V profile rims, alloy 700c topped with Touring 700 x 32 black with silver line  Tires.

So while its not a jaw dropper for high end components, they are at least decent out of the box.

Fun Included

The nice part about the Viaggio Giordano Tandem Road Bike is its good enough that people enjoy the ride without fretting over any shortcomings.  One consumer review stated it aptly, when he said  “it’s like getting a $500 frame with a lot of free parts!”.  The “Free Parts” so to speak are good parts, but not top of the line.  Don’t think you have to upgrade anything other than the brakes, you don’t.    But you can, and thats a nice feature too.

Its unusual for us to include a “FUN” attribute to road bike review, but in the case of the Viaggio Tandem Road Bike it seemed fitting.  A good example is a review on the Lamborghini  Tandem Road Bike which is the predecessor to this one and almost identical.  This consumer reviewer summed up why a good tandem is valued.

“    I’ve been riding for several years and compete in races throughout the year. I bought this bike in Jan 09 as a way for my girlfriend and I to ride together in a more enjoyable manner. Normally when we ride together on our separate bikes I tend to go too fast for her to be able to ride next me so instead she rides behind me to draft, but when we do this it’s hard for us to maintain any sort of conversation. This tandem was the perfect solution for this problem. So far we’ve put on about 1000 miles on it and have to say I couldn’t be happier with it. I love the fact we can hold a conversation without a problem and she loves that we fly when we’re riding. The added bonus is because it has such a long wheelbase and wide tires (700×35) the ride is super smooth compared to our road bikes.”

Other consumer reviewers said this about the “Fun” attribute of going tandem.

“    We bought this bike too see if we would like riding a tandem before forking out a few grand. This bike fits this bill perfectly, and we have had much fun figuring out how to peddle together.”

“    We own a Burley Rock n’ Roll tandem at our ocean home and feel that riding brings us closer together. We wanted another tandem for our home 800 miles away but were intimated by $4k through $6k prices we observed for the Vantana, Santana and Co-Motion bikes.
Our Viaggio arrived in a box and we got it put together in about half hour, no big tools. We took the bike out for our first ride yesterday and were pleasantly amazed. It’s much faster and more comfortable than our $3k Burley and the aluminum frame acts as a wonderful shock absorber to keep my ‘stocker’ happy!”

“    The bike is classy looking and great fun to ride. My wife got a Lamborghini for Valentine’s Day. I am hero and it didn’t cost me much. I would buy this bike again in a heartbeat and I would check first with Amazon because of their fine customer service.”

So we are in agreement with the consumer reviewers, the Giordano Viaggio Tandem Road Bike is a nice bike at a great price for having ‘FUN’.
