thanks. haven't heard much about microshift, but could be a problem solver for certain people. didn't know it also would be on higher end bicycles either. perhaps microshift is upping their game.

Beautiful tandem! Congratulations. We have also put money down on a new tandem and we also plan to have a yellow theme. :-) I think we're still a couple of months off from any tandem training. Enjoy Your ride! :-)
