Thank you!
The Java handles like a dream! This captain is still working on tight turns, it's long and handles tight turns like the QE2, it's just a learning-curve (LOL).
It's running
WTB Venture TCS 700c on
CliffHanger 700c wheels; these tires will be great for our first big adventure:
The Filthy 50 (weather permitting, the stoker is not stoked for the 'filthiest' 50 - the captain will ride a single if the weather is nasty)
The colors were the stoker pick, these are her favorite gemstones' colors, and we called this Java our 30th anniversary gift (much more fun than of a ring).
BTW - This is our first 'real' tandem, we have a '65 Schwinn Twinn that has never done a ride over 10 miles.
