I notice on her half-bike and when she adjusts the bike at spin that she isn't as upright. So, I theorize she might do okay with the handlebar forward and lower (which would be at least a little aero). Yeah, we should get a fitting, but I don't think that's not likely to happen.

I looked to purchase the InPulse stem at Trials Addict in the UK, and with $15 shipping it and tax(?) came to $70. That gave me pause. The price looked lower at InPulse, but it did not look to have a U.S. shipping capacity. I emailed InPulse, to tell them about the stoker market they are missing out on. Maybe a tandem retailer in the U.S. can stock it.
WebCyclery has the Trialtech in stock for $55 and is located in Bend Oregon.

Almost the same weight as the one you are looking at.

This is where I ordered ours.
