How short do you think the stoker could be? (Thinking of the boy)

This is the first photo I took before I raised the saddle for the photo.



The wife is 5ft 4"

This is a close up showing how much lower the suspension seat post would go, put a normal seat post in and it goes down much further.


You are more than welcome to come and try it out

If it's the smaller size my 142cm tall ten year old daughter can ride ours (and will be at WRT with me on it next week) but not enough room for the suspension post.

Looks a very similar size to our tandem, kids were in that from about 135cm. I'm about to take the crank shorteners off it, if they would help your boy fit on the back?

Thanks for the replies - apparently there are two sizes made:
"
Double Edge comes in two sizes, 19/15 inch seat tubes and 21/17 inch seat tubes"

Would you mind waving a tape at it John? I'm guessing it's the smaller from the photos and info about your wife.

Yes, mine is the 19/15" in order to get the daughter on it, hence the monster stack of steerer spacers as I'm 187cm tall.

I'll take it if Al is not going to have it. Might be a couple of weeks before I can collect though.

I'll pass - all yours Chris

Hi Al and Chris 2 posts down

Been out in a Bivi and only just turned back in here

I'm sorry but someone asked me for it yesterday lunchtime (before you posted here)
He's viewing it a week on Tuesday (after the WRT)
He's sure he's going to buy it.
If not I promise I'll be in touch and will reply on here once sold to whoever
Sorry

No worries John
