Some call it the Supersonic Divorce Machine, some call it The Red Rocket, but I know where my money would be if ever there was a Manufacturer Tandem Olympics.   Say it was a 6km drag race, I would put Fabian Cancellara and Mario Cipollini (circa 02) on this thing, wear ear plugs for the sonic boom and rake in the cash at the bookies…

Which Specialized riders do YOU think should pilot this Specialized SHIV at the 6km Tandem Olympics? Other manufacturers and riders? Fantasy Tandem Olympics!

Yup, 140mm Magura disk brakes with internal cable housing. No brakes for Mario. Or shall Fabian be the stoker?
