Thanks for the kind words. My two kids (9 and 7 years old) have gotten really enthusiastic about cycling, which has motivated my wife to be into it as well.
Humorous aside about my daughter. She learned to ride without training wheels just this summer. We did an intensive session on our vacation Quote from Day 2 of Vacation: "Daddy, I want to keep my training wheels until I'm 20" Quote from Day 4 of Vacation: "Daddy! I can't believe I'm riding my bike without training wheels! I never want to stop riding my bike!" My son asks about once a week for me to check if his legs are long enough to be my stoker on the tandem. The only hiccup with the build has been the front derailleur. I've done three Riv builds this year, and the front derailleur has been an adventure with all three. On this Yves I used a Suntour X-1, which fit nicely and the curvature is good for the rings, but the return spring is too strong for the Cheapie Thumb Shifters. No matter how tight you crank the tension screw on the shifter, it wanders out. I have a SRAM that I'll try next.
