Re: [obc] WTB: trail-a-bike

[Michael Slavitch]

Greg, the problem with a sto-kid adaptor is that the reach to the bars can be a concern, and that the child is too high off the bike. Kids get scared of this. Once they are old enough to reach comfortably they are usually old enough to accept the height factor.   FWIW Mike Plummer has built trail-a-bikes with a form factor that accepts a Burley. Problem is that you get too much camber and the train starts reticulating, especially at speed.     Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Franks To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 11:37 AM Subject: [obc] WTB: trail-a-bike Well, spring is (sort-of) here, and a young man's fancy turns to... cycling... I am looking for a trail-a-bike to take my son out to smell the roses.  Ideally, one would be able to attach a Burley/Chariot trailer (we're talking a real "train"ing ride here!).   If you happen to have one you want to sell, please contact me at this address. Alternatively, perhaps using a tandem with a sto-kid adaptor would be a better choice.  How big (small) does the child have to be to use one?    Also, does anyone know where I can find these beasts locally (for a Santana).  Has anyone found a LBS that caters to tandem-ists?   Thanks   ..greg ------ Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 230-1064 Web/mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/Newsletter ------ Club Office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 230-1064 Web/mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb Newsletter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/Newsletter ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiDo.a2i8p1 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
