[QUOTE=mburchard;5259494]LBS just received our new tandem frame, a Calfee with ti couplers, some comments and questions:
Curious about how things come apart with cable splitters. Frame has some built in cable routing that means that splitters can allow sections to be separated, but the front two sections will still be joined by the loose cable unless I remove the tail end of the splitter (due to cable routing at captain seatpost). Is this normal?

Our new Seven came with two sets of cable splitters so the cables split into three section, front, middle and end. You can put the first set in front of the captains down tube and the second just behind which leaves a short length of cable attached to the captains down tube.

Last night we packed our tandem for the first time. It took a long time to cut and fit all the tube covers. It also is a bit of a jigsaw puzzle to get every thing to fit. I loaded and unloaded several times to get the right combination of parts in each box.

Hopefully it will make it to Rome without any damage. We leave on Friday night and get back on September 30.
