Well after much wait, and well worth it I might add, the new Co-Mo finally made it home. Here's a really crappy picture of the bike:
I'll post additional photo's, and comments once we've had our first ride, hopefully this weekend. This picture really doesn't do it justice.
A big thanks to Pat and Lynn of Tandem Cycle Works of Colorado. They've been great, and if your in the Denver area, you really have to go see them.
Wooo Hooo

SWEEEEET!!!!!! Hauling butt on a hot tandem is the most fun a couple can have in public with their clothes on. You have definitely obtained the right rig to qualify as a hot tandem. Congrats and keep us posted.

Just curious, did the folks at TCW put an additional "booster" spring on the Avid or make any of the other tweaks to fine tune the caliper?

Still waiting for my tandem to show up. Good news is MY LBS man says that he will drop everything to get it set up for me. I have a hunch that it will be here today (friday). I ordered a 23/18 as well My wife is a little taller and I am a little shorter Our team is 6' and just a skosh under an inch. and me wifey is around 5'4". Me got a CO-MO too!
