Kindly, might I suggest you reconsider buying a more expensive bike (Co-Motion). I can think of no one more worthy and deserving of a high end bike than someone that rides nearly an hour a day, 7 days a week, for 20 years running. You will truly appreciate the upgrade in frame technology and high end components. Obviously you love riding your tandem, spend a week or two doing a bit of homework and pricing one out. Take a serious look at the figure. Keep in mind it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume a new C0-Motion won't enter your life until Thanksgiving/Xmas.
