I started emailing the major retailers in July 2007 for this bike. Mark Johnson of Precision Tandems https://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!

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.

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"!
