(Hi Lynette! Another 2009 Pac Tour-ite, but I rode a "big bike" so you probably didn't notice me )

I own an S&S coupled bike, although I seriously gave thought to a BF. I went S&S because I'm an odd fit and I had a relationship with the frame builder for the S&S.

That said, if you're the least bit mechanically dis-inclined, you'd want to lean toward the BF. I am a slow and methodical mechanic, but the BF's were packed in 1/2 the time of my S&S -- much less disassembly. I love my S&S and, for me, the packing/unpacking is part of my vacation catharsis; others may disagree.
