Kent Tandem Bicycle
Anyone know about the Kent Tandem Bicycle. I'm interested in how heavy
the whole bicycle is. Anyone own one. They seem too good to be true, price wise. |

Or perhaps there's a county tandem fling-win-a-dinner-for- two? |

It's funny, sure, but that review actually told you everything you'd need to know about buying that bike, most notably that assembly (and wheel truing...) is going to be a DIY affair. As for the Columbia tandem, without more information, it's hard to say if it was better or worse, but to the reviewer's credit, he did a 50 km ride on it! I suspect 50 km is more than the lifetime mileage of a lot of cheap tandems, possibly including my own. mic'ing the ball bearings is a rather bizarre plan, but the dude was clearly in there already to lube things up, so why not? -- Ryan Cousineau rcousine@gmail.com http://www.wiredcola.com/ "In other newsgroups, they killfile trolls."
