	Hi, The Trek 720 photo I was able to locate showed a straight top tube diamond frame bike with either 27-1/4 or 700c wheels. These are lovely bikes, nicely...

	This bike is a blast to ride and now have 125 miles on it. Speed is getting closer to the Mt bike its easy to throw around corners.Even with the 39in wheelbase...

	The Xtracycle design turns a hardtail bike into a load/passenger carrying "hitchless trailer." If you haven't checked out the design, do so...
1653		evsolutions	Apr 5, 2007 11:35 am
	From your photo it would be fairly easy (not sure how practical) to have the passenger pedal assist using the no longer needed BB and you now have a 2 wheel...

1657		alanhu99	Apr 6, 2007 5:03 pm
	The windwrap is very unobtrusive looking and functional. I vote yes! 23lbs for that bike is very impressive and compelling! I can believe that thing goes...
1658		Mark Allen malkren	Apr 7, 2007 2:00 am
	Can we get pictures of each (fairing/fairingless) with a rider? Tentatively I'll vote - functionally: I like a fairing - aesthetically: I like a fairing ...

	They were on the front fork of 2006 prototype. While rim brakes will likely be the default, for those touring/randoneuring in wet weather, it's a critically...

1662		dosduros	Apr 8, 2007 12:24 am
	... John, I fully appreciate that, but If the stress of the disc brake doesn't compromise the integrity of the fork; add more than a few dollars to the cost;...
1663		Eric busy22bee	Apr 8, 2007 4:39 am
	A Cruzbike tandem might work. One problem is the legs of the passenger would be splayed out a bit, so the size of the captain's butt might be an issue when...
1664		evsolutions	Apr 8, 2007 4:58 am
