With respect to the thread starter I pull back from the discussion. He’s the one who takes a financial risk in the moment.
We others all have (hopefully good performing ;-) tandems. Since he and his business partners obviously found a way to deal with the current situation,
we shouldn’t be the ones to put that on risk again. Of course I’m curious too to find out what happened there. Technically.
But in the end Woodcycl ordered an individual bike. There seem to be not really a serial problem with some public interest.
So we should give them at least the chance to find out what finally failed. Design- or manufacturing wise.
I’m positive they’ll find a solution for him and learn from the mistakes.
So far and up to now I appreciated all of your ideas and comments and wish Woodcycl a good start with some new hot engine.
And stick to the color. Was my favorite ;-)
