We like weirdness. We like it a lot. We also love doing things that we haven't seen done before. When Mike from Dalhart, TX asked us to get creative on a custom Salsa Powderkeg for him and his wife's anniversary we were ready to make something ridiculous happen. Let's start getting weird. It was absolutely possible to put all the chains, timing and shifting, all on the drive side and it was absolutely possible to have a killer gear range with a 1x setup. After a handful of headaches with chainring clearance, crank spiders, and not having enough beer to keep us calm we finally made it happen. This is one insanely light and responsive tandem. We didn't weigh it, of course, but we promise it rules. 

Overall, we couldn't be more stoked for how this build came together. It took lots of conversations and tons of behind the scenes struggles but everything works and it's perfect. A handful of rides later and Mike and his wife are ready for any gravel road together.
