New Tandem
Got the Co-Motion Java, that we've had on order for awhile now, last night.
Took it on a quick ride with some pavement, some gravel, and some grass ( Golf course in the neighborhood).
Several initial impressions: 1) it's heavy, 43 lbs with bottles and cages; 2) it's a comfortable ride, with steel frame, and 2" tires; 3) 2" tires with a bit of tread give a lot of rolling resistance, 4) it appears to be sufficiently stiff, without a lateral tube.
The bike will get used mostly for gravel grinders, and maybe some light single track.
Looking forward to taking it to the local MTB trails tonight.
