Called the other LBS today trying to ask about a Canondale tandem. I told him we're taking the Trek T2000 out for a 3-day test spin this weekend. Of course he tried to sell me on a Co-Motion. Problem with Co-Motion...they're way out there on price.
Are Co-Motions that much better than Trek Tandems or was he filling me with more salesman B.S.? Two things he tried to tell me:
A) Co-Motions handle like a single road bike (I had a hard time swallowing this one although I have NO experience)
B) Trek Tandems are very heavy compared to Co-Motion. I can't find a weight on the Trek T2000 anywhere, plus I have no idea what Co-Motion tandem is comparable to compare to. This also may be a moot point especially if it's just a few pounds difference. We're not out to compete.
Thanks for any and all replies. The day draws near when we try out the T2000. I have the feeling we're gonna call the LBS and tell 'em we're not returning it.
