Your situation isn't that different than mine, although my wife is a little taller than your fiance. We came up with a solution in a used large Santana. The cost was under $1500. It took a while to...

We did a great climb/ride here in Santa Cruz last weekend, Eureka Canyon, about 3000' over 50 miles. Much of the climb rolls along, with some steep sections that gain a lot of elevation quickly. I...

Agreed. Currently, I'm fine with my two drop bar bike shifting systems (bar-ends and DA brifters). The Ergo lever (shift system #3 for me) works great, but I find myself hitting the wrong lever...

I was gonna go the cheap route, as in 10 speed shimano chain, IRD cassette and DA 10 speed bar-ends. I've tested a XTR M900 rear derailleur on my road bike, and it works fine with my current DA 7800...

Thanks for the feedback Bob - All the Sachs/XTR 8 speed components and cassette are in great working order at this point. The toughest part for me is getting used to the ergo shifting technique. I...

Thanks for the compliments. We're really happy with the four bike - four rides in the last week and change, including a 43 miler with ~2500 feet of climbing. I'm contemplating ditching the Sachs...

The color's called Royal Plum? Cool to know.

I'm thinking of dumping the Sachs brifters in favor of Diacompe 287V levers and Dura-ace barends. I'd like to convert it to a ten speed 11-32 IRD...

Thanks for the replies. I like the ability to open the hatch on my Scion xB with the tandem atop, so maybe the Sidewinder is what I'll end up looking for. Any advice on a cheap (oxymoron?) place to...

Can a Santana Sovereign's boom stand up to a Yakima Sidewinder?

We're exploring roof racks for our aluminum Sovereign and am curious if anyone has dimpled the boom from the Yakima Sidewinder's boom tube clamp system?
