Santana Visa bike review

Santana produced the Visa bike in 1997 and can be classified as a Tandem bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $2,695.00.
Visa bike is available in many sizes such as Small , Medium , Large and Extra large .
Santana Tandem Visa can be found in a few colors, among these colors Jet black, starburst blue and tangerine .
This bike is equiped with 700 x 26c Specialized Transition tires and Wheelsmith stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Mavic T 217 SUP, 40-hole. Santana equiped this exact model with Shimano XLX Tandem cantilever brakes, Dia-Compe 287T levers braking system and Front: Shimano Tandem, Rear: Shimano Tandem dishless 160mm hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Santana used Tange chromoly, double-butted material for the frame. Profile Hammer/Profile Stoker high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Visa to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Sameness chromoly.
For the smoothest biking experience Aeromax Tandem, 30/42/53 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to KMC SS-71S chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Santana, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano 600 Ultegra bar-end gear shift levers.
