I started emailing the major retailers in July 2007 for this bike. Mark Johnson of Precision Tandems http://www.precisiontandems.com/index.html replied back to the many, many emails answering every question with large 300-500 word replies - and I asked a lot of questions.

I need to thank TandemGeek and Zonatandem for their mentorship and answers to numerous questions.

Summer 2008 is gonna be great!:D

Congratulations.

Please report how you like the rig once you ride it. Also, how well to 40h front wheel handles.

Was that your triple I saw on the Bushnell site? Full size captain and two small stokers? Very clean looking machine.

I just looked on the Bushnell site (http://www.bushnelltandems.com/) and I don't see any triples.

So, that would be a Precision Triplet by Bushnell? Either way, it should be a great ride. Congrats.

All American 6 on an all-American Bushnell triple!
Congratulations . . . sounds great! Let us know when you get it and how it handles!
Who says "three's a crowd?!" Enjoy the ride!
Pedal on into 2008!

Will do. I don't return to the States until early June. I'll post pics and review then. I wanted the Rolf Tandem wheels, but I was scared to put my family on them. I think the Dyads will give us trouble free miles for a long time.

Just a quick pic. It's about ride time!

Very nice looking bike. What will be your method of transport for the bike?

I assume you are still deployed, stay safe.

A Harbor Freight trailer. There's not a roof top rack system for my car.


Thanks for the thought. 411 days down. 29 days to go! (trip #2)

My brother is at 520 down and ~30 to go!

I hope the bike gives you some space to decompress. My family and I thank you for your service. Although, in the end it is still "Beat Army"! :p

Outstanding Bike ...you did it right! Congratulations.
