BF triple tandem wanted   Message List

Re: [bfclubithaca] BF triple tandem wanted

Hi, Amy --
Sorry to not get back to you sooner. It amused our Bike Friday guru,
Lynette, to make me the official head of the Bike Friday Club of the
Finger Lakes, but such a club has never really jelled. The registered
folks are yet to become even a handful. On the other hand, there seem to
be BFs all over the place. Last weekend I rode my Pocket Rocket Pro on a
weekend self-supported tour around the lakes. We left Friday afternoon
for Filmore Glen State Park, where we camped. The next day, we hauled
our stuff some 55 miles to Sampson State Park. And, Sunday we came home.
I pulled the BF suitcase with its trailer-kit -- and it was really
great! Anyhow, my point was going to be this: although it wasn't a Bike
Friday event, we had three Bike Fridays on the trip out of 9 bikes. The
others were another Pocket Rocket Pro and a gorgeous tandem. And it
turned out that each of the other BF owners knew yet more BF owners. We
are everywhere!

Your request is really a long-shot. In reading email lists, I've seen a
triple for sale, but I don't think more than once. I hope you've found
the bikefriday.com website, which also lists used bikes for sale. Right
now even they don't have a triple. I know that their price is probably
more than you'd pay if you could find the owner directly. But, this kind
of thing may really require the centralized power of the company store.
They are more likely to get one than any of us just asking around.

If I were you, I'd continue to look around, but also contact BF and ask
them to let you know when they hear something. Why don't you call Paul
Adkins and tell him what you're looking for. He has a triple himself --
sometimes pulling a trail-a-bike and trailer at the same time! -- and
would be a good resource for you regardless of how you find your bike.

Give a holler if you come to the Ithaca area and we'll go for a ride or
at least have a beverage!
