I would suggest that you NOT just look for the cheapest used tandem available and go out and buy it. You could end up with a poor fit and mechanical issues that would turn you off to tandems for good. If there is a local bike shop that sells tandems I would going there and do some test riding. This will also allow the both of you to come home and evaluate how compatible the two of you are riding together. I can understand that money may be a factor in the purchase but there are some benefits to newer tandems and you could better evaulate an appropriate tradeoff between cost and value. In any case take your time, the more exposure you have with test riding and talking to others the better.
