"Short stop" RANS seat exp.?
I noticed a RANS seat with a shorter pan advertised in the Hostel
Shoppe catalogue. Have any shorter riders out there tried one? Especially stokers of Screamers? My wife is 5'3", and I'm wondering if this might be the ticket for her if we go with a Screamer. Thanks! Scott |

My wife said that by the time she got the stoker seat far enough forward, the BB was practically underneath the seat, with the pan hitting against her thighs. Sounds like the way to go, but how would you know without trying one out? Steve Christensen |

There is A LOT I like about the Screamer, but I'm worried the fit issue might be a deal breaker. What kind of tandem did you end up getting, if any? We're keen on a performance tandem, light, with good climbing capabilities. We've sort of ruled out the Double Vision, but it may get back on the short list. Any input would be great. Thanks. Scott |

Scott,
So how tall is your riding partner on your Screamer? She is one inch shorter than me, but we have the same X seam. Either of us can hop on any of our bikes and ride with no adjustments needed. Any reach, comfort issues w/the low BB? The cut down pans eliminate the seat cutting into the thighs on low BB. If you have a big butt, carrying a lot of weight, the cut down seat pans probably won't work for you. Warren |

For the time being we put the tandem search on hold. The Vision didn't feel right, the Scream just didn't fit, and we couldn't find anything else to ride without traveling out of state. There are so many interesting tandems out therer (M5, Longbikes eliminator, duplex) that we would love to try, but just can't find. Steve Christensen |
