Experience, Knowledge and Innovation

For almost 30 years now, Dennis Bushnell has been riding, building and innovating in the world of tandem bicycles. If you've been in the tandem business, then you know his name well. Dennis' eccentric bottom bracket design has become a standard of the tandem industry, and has since been discovered for use in single speed bicycles of all brands.

His experience and knowledge are unmatched in the world of custom long bikes. He has been chosen by professional athletes as well as everyday cyclists to build some of the most amazing tandem, triple, quad and quint bicycles ever made.

One recent accomplishment was the Rodriguez Trillium steel tandem that weighed in at a mere 26.8 lbs including pedals and bottle cages. The frame alone weighed in at sub 7 pounds. You may have read about this incredible bike on tandem newsgroups, but if you haven't yet, I've written a couple of articles ('Weight a minute' and 'The sub 27-pound tandem revealed') that can be read here at my newsletter archives:

New for 2009!
Bushnell Indus Tandem Frame
It's been several years since Dennis has offered a production line of tandem frames. This winter we had several dealers request a frame that was less expensive, came in specific sizes, and utilized round tubes for possible future fitting of S&S couplings. The result was the new Bushnell Indus frames.

Custom Tandem Frames

At Bushnell Cycle Design, custom tandems are the specialty. We can build from light weight cro-moly steel, as well as aluminum. Many manufacturers recommend aluminum because of its light weight. Because of Dennis' ability to ovalize and shape steel tubes, at Bushnell, your tandem can be light even if it's made from steel. Most people prefer the smooth riding characteristics and lower cost of steel, but at Bushnell, we can build to your liking.
