We've had our Hokitika Haka for about year and we're very happy with it. I've made a few upgrades: replaced the stock hubs with White Industries hubs, replaced the eccentric with a Bushnell EBB, switched out the bars and went with some old Shimano XT friction shifters. It's a great bike at an excellent price. I'll can also add that Mel, the owner of Tandems East, will bend over backwards to help you work out any issues you might have. As far as size-I'm 5'11 and my wife is 5'6". I believe our frame is 19" up front and 17" in the rear. It fits us well. We'll ride this bike anywhere, paved roads, gravel, even some light singletrack.
