I'll answer the short one first. I'm moving back to the US in a few months, so I can't answer about hills. We have a perfectly good titanium tandem MTB with S&S couplers if we want to travel with a bike, so this one will probably stay at home. I doubt my Twenty will be out in the rain, although that wouldn't stop me from doing something crazy like disc brakes.
Thanks.
I'll keep you guys updated as I continue to get my hands dirty.
