Well, lets tentatively plan to try everyone's tandems when we're both in SF and when we're both in WA. Thanks for your generosity V, Mimi, and Salsa! You guys are great!
I'll put a bug in ReCy's ear about keeping an eye out for another miracle tandem like Salsa's.
This could be fun!

Had a great time hanging out with my guys at Recycled Cycles. They are gonna keep an eye out for a cheap/decent tandem for me. (a la Salsa's) They had a barely-used "comfort" Diamondback tandem for $520, which was kinda frightening. Ewww.
They also have a new Raliegh Coupe (flat bar road) tandem. Disc brakes and other nice goodies. With my Team Survivor discount a new one would be $840. And a used custom Rodriguez with S+S couplers. That was a gorgeous, but weird bike. The stoker compartment was HUGE and the captain's was tiny. They said it had been made for a two-women couple. I know who wore the pants in that family...
Anyway, they were all ready to send me out on the Raleigh alone to get the feel of it, but I didn't have time today.
