Mixed results? Or mixed opinions? I have not yet had a bike converted to an S and S coupled bike because of someone's opinion of them on these forums. I had a bike repaired by Bilenky, and they could have incorporated couplings while they were repairing it, but the negative basis I've received on these list prevented me from doing it.
But I just sent off a frame to be done. I realized in the last year there have been four times where I wanted to fly somewhere and wanted my bike with me, but stupid airline policies made taking it unattractive. So two times I didn't go, one time I fought with the airline, and one time I had someone driving take my bike for me. So I'm going to take the mixed opinions and throw them in the trash. I think a coupled bike will work for me and my personal needs. I have never been one to listen to negative opinions and I shouldn't start now.
