New bike soon...

[Veronica]

It looks like we may take delivery of our new tandem the first weekend in April. We're planning on meeting the builder at the custom bike show in San Diego to pick it up.

At least that was the plan this morning... It could be different tomorrow morning. :rolleyes:

A Bohemian - the prototype won People's Choice at the 2007 North America Hand Built Bike Show.

What color??

What'll happen to your old tandem?

Congratulations- new bikes are SO EXCITING!

It's the same color as our Subaru - a burgundyish red.

The old tandem has been for sale since we ordered the new one.

That's really neat! Do you ride tandem often? I always think of you as putting in the miles solo for your tri competitions. :cool:

We bought our first tandem in 2002 and for about a year our only road riding was on the tandem. Then we bought singles and discovered that the tandem really did not fit us so well. I did my first 200K on the back of the tandem and thought I was NEVER EVER going to ride that far again.

I don't know how many 200Ks I've done since - 12 to 15 I guess and six double centuries. All on my single, because it fits. That's why we ordered a custom tandem. We're really close in height and a stock tandem just isn't set up for that.

We LOVED riding the tandem together. I don't mind giving up control and I do like going fast. So we're pretty excited that it's nearly done.
