Any information or insight is appreciated!

I've had a quick look at all the bikes. Although I can't really tell which one to go for, I would NOT go for the Trek. The frame simply does not seem rigid enough for a tandem. If you compare it to the other frames, it really seems to be "missing" a crossbar. This may make it easier for the stoker to get on the bike, but it may very well go at the cost of stability.

What will you be using this tandem for? This can vary from an occasional ride on a sunny afternoon, to a multiweek tour.

Cheers,
TT
