VERY COOL!
Too big for me, but I would love to have one!
We had a tandem BF in for a new rear D and hub overhaul last week. She was one SWEET ride!
The owners are an older couple who have toured Europe on her. I was SOO jealous!

Best of luck in selling it. I'm getting a different model for my trip to France and Spain in May. I'll post pics when it comes in!

I need to let Duck on Wheels know about this. She is 5'10 and is a world traveler. Is it on E-bay yet?

[Blueberry]

If it were a little smaller, I'd buy it. That's an awesome deal, and they've very cool bikes (I have the lighter weight version).

Tulip - What are you getting??

[Duck on Wheels]

Well, actually I'm 5'9" and shrinking, but I do still ride a pretty big bike. My main ride is a 19" Trek 7.6. So maybe that would fit me pretty well. And Trek420's been nagging at me to get a Bike Friday since she thinks I travel so much. Well, I do travel quite a bit some years, although right now I'm not getting so many flyer miles in due to a tight teaching schedule. But, yeah. At $800 that's a pretty sweet deal. Where is this bike living at the moment?

Cool May you have many happy miles

Duck, it's in LA.
It's not ebay. yet. (probably this weekend)
ps. they took away the internet for us peon wage slave contractor, so it may be a while before I can respond (bitter, me?)

[Duck on Wheels]

Okeeeiii. LA. That's not too far away from the Bay Area. So shipping shouldn't be prohibitive. If it's in its suitcase, storage in my Mom's garage (Sonoma) shouldn't be a problem. I should give her a call first though to clear that, which I won't be able to do until I get home Saturday night (I'm at a 3-day meeting in Oslo now). Also, I'd have to make an electronic transfer from my bank here to my Wells Fargo account, after which I could send you a check. That can be done. There are instructions on the respective bank web sites, though I've never had to do that before. Always just topped up the WF account with my Skandinaviabank visa card when I was in the States. But I know where to look up the codes, so it should be no prob. Final trepidation: being based in Norway with next CA visit scheduled for end of June I wouldn't be able to give it a test ride. I'd just have to cross my fingers about the fit and feel. Hmmmm. At 800 I'm sorely tempted. How much would a new set of bars cost, I wonder? And everything else is in good shape, you say?

[Blueberry]

Duck-

DH put some H bars on his old commuter and ISTR they were in the $40 range (for the special, split H bars). They're awesome for in town riding especially, but they give you lots of hand positions for longer distances.

CA

Yep - just looked. They're $45 plus shipping. http://store.bikefriday.com/index.ph...4e3c&cPath=155

[KnottedYet]

Duck - if it doesn't fit you (like if it's too small, specifically) there is always the Knot Kneed. I can be your back-up second purchaser.

And Trek can't complain about it, CUZ IT FOLDS UP ALL SMALL AND CUTE-LIKE!

[Fredwina]

duck and knot,
as far as I know the handlebars are it!
it has about 1600 miles.
Yes, I'll break it down in the suitcase
but wait, I've also got a spare tire!
Seriously, It just sitting here and I need the money(bald car tires)

[Duck on Wheels]

Arright. Let's go for this. Can't have you driving around on bald tires. That's just not safe! I'll do the bank transfer thing on Sunday, then write you a check. Meanwhile, could you find out your end what shipping will cost? Let me know and I'll add that on. PM me your address and I'll PM you my mom's or Trek's, depending on where we decide the suitcase gets parked until June. I'll call them on the weekend for a D-side.
