Ready to Take the Plunge
Okay, I think we're ready to take the plunge. I am a recreational (and occasional commuter) bike rider, wife is a nonrider. We rented a tandem last year and loved it. Have decided that the tandem is vthe only thing that will allow us to ride together. We live in an area where there aren't many options. Very few (if any) used tandems. There are only four LBS in town and three of them carry the same brand (Raleigh Companion). The other has a Trek T900. I'm not really sure what the difference between these two bikes are - except $400 (the Trek is more expensive). They say it is the last one they will be carrying (something about Trek not wanting to be associated with Specialized). Any thoughts on which one we should get? What should we be looking for? Wife is 5'3 I am about 5'10.
Thanks for any input.
