Here is a letter we received from James Brown, a Paketa tandem owner who won the Bronze medal in the 2012 Paralympics on a Paketa V2r magnesium tandem bicycle.
” Dear Jp and Nick,
We got bronze in the road time trial – on the Paketa V2r tandem! We were delighted and we shocked many with our stunning performance – I genuinely believe a large part of the success was the bike. I attach a couple of photos. We totally trashed the Americans who had been expecting a medal – but the standard was exceptionally high.
So, can you do me a track bike next? We failed to get a medal in the pursuit because the bike they gave us was not fit-for-purpose (in fact it was sh*t!); I think a Paketa tandem track bike would be just what we need!
MANY THANKS”
James
