Im kicking myself for not pre-ordering. I think my wife will ride a lot 
more with me if we are on a tandem.

At least part of my motivation for getting the tandem is enticing the wife 
to ride more (She is a "fair-weather" leisure rider, with a justifiable 
dose of bike shop owner's wife resentment)I'll let you gentlemen know 
how that works out and I'll be sure to share pics :-)

Wow, 66mm of fork offset. Not what I'd expect from Rivendell.

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Many tandems are designed with more rake/less trail due to different 
handling forces than a single. I suspect this might apply even more to a 
sub-700c frame designed for fat tires & upright bars.
