I took the plunge about the same time. I bought a Cignal Melbourne Express from work. (Is everyone laughing now?) The bike is something I've talked about with my wife for years, and my son wants to give one a try. My first ride with my boy was a big learning experience. I've worked on bikes for 20 years, including some tandems, but have never ridden one with a stoker. I did change out the tires to a set of Ritchey Moby-Bites, 26 x 2.2, and added a set of Topeak Bar 'n' Mirrors, as I plan to add a trailercycle to it to take both kids out together (3 and 10).
