Initially we were just going to take the Cannondale tandem and find a good home for it, it has over 28k miles on it! Then we thought the Bike Friday Two's Day might be neat cuz it is so weird. Then we saw the two half bikes and knew we HAD to have those. The Merckx is my size, the Waterford my husbands size. Our very generous friend made us an offer, $500 for all 4 of them. He really just wanted them to go to a home that would ride and appreciate them for what they are. They were original owners on the Cannondale, had the Bike Friday custom built for them, had the Waterford custom built for him, and the wife picked out the used Merckx frame and had it built with Campy 8 speed. Both of the half bikes were on our grail lists!
