Looking to get our first tandem
Hi all,
First post here in this forum. My wife and I are looking to get our first tandem. I'm thinking we'll go the used route to give it a try. If we don't like it, we'll hopefully be able to sell the bike without much of a loss.
I've found a 2004 Trek T2000 that's a little over an hour's drive away. The owner is not certain of the size but believes it is a medium. I'm 6'-1" and ride a 57cm 2004 Lemond Zurich. My wife is 5'-7" and rides a 49cm 2002 Lemond Tourmalet. I can't find the geometry of the 2004 model listed on Trek's website, but if it is similar to the 2008, then I'm worried that this particular bike might be too small for us (if indeed it is a medium). Any thoughts? Given our heights, should we generally be looking at the larger sizes among bike brands?
As for the price, the seller is asking $2400. If the bike is in excellent condition, it seems reasonable IMO given that a new one would run close to $4K OTD. Thoughts on this as well?
TIA,
Mike
