Hey John, 
If that tandem sounds like it's too small for you, would you be interested 
in a Large Riv Hubbuhubbuh? Let me know if this piques your interest.

Best,
Isaiah, NYC

Micheal,

Thank-you for the information. The frame will be too small for us if Stephen 
designed the bike for the two of you. 
The head tube looked taller to me and that indicated a taller build
Kind Thanks for the information
