My bf bought us an old Trek200 after we'd had some very enjoyable rides on a high-quality rental. I'm not sure it's going to work because of the "q-factor". At least I think that's what it is called. The width between the pedals for the stoker. Apparently it is wider on different tandems. I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to ride this tandem because I can't ride with my knees torqued to accommodate the wider stance. If you have ANY knee issues, you should give this some serious thought. Believe me, the medical bills you'll rack up will FAR exceed what you pay for a tandem that fits you.
