Looking for some bike/xtracycle advice

[tjf9]

Thanks everyone for your replies! We just took the plunge a couple of hours ago - decided to go with an Electra Townie Balloon 8. (Apparently the last of those bikes available anywhere). They are building it up for us on Sunday! I am so excited to *hopefully* have it before the end of the long weekend.

Looks like there was enough seatpost left when both DH and I rode it to attach the stoker handlebars to the captain's (aha!) seatpost. The folks at this shop have installed that enough times, they thought it would be no problem.

I can't wait for my new bike! I'll post pics when it's done!

Here's a pic of the new bike. We brought her home yesterday and took more than a few spins around the neighborhood. It's a blast! The kids are enjoying it (so far), but DH still is getting used to it. I'm hoping he'll at least take it to the store, without the kids, but we'll see. I took it to the store with both kids and picked up 2 gallons of milk and some other groceries, and it rode home fine. I'm loving it!

Thanks again for the advice!
