Glad you liked it. Keep in mind when I review these tandems my wife and stoker is pretty sharp and gets it. She has no issues understanding how to get into sync, how to take off peddle set up on either tandem ( a little different with the ICS system but not much) not a word needs to be said. I think maybe it might be different with a lessor experienced stoker but all the things I said would still apply over all. Things again may be different for other tandem teams than our experience. Given time and understanding I believe all teams could shine with the ICS system and take advantage of some of its inharant advantages as mentioned by Da Vinci lovers. Again like old Zonatandem says may not be for everybody was not for them because of there style.
Take Care,
