  1. We knew we wanted to do something unique so we asked Oliver not to place any decals during fabrication. We then played around with different themes/ideas/sketches until we landed to the chosen scene (Morant's Curve in Banff) which is not too far away from where we live in Alberta. (Original high quality SVG pic purchased from Shutterstock) First two vinyl wrap businesses we approached refused to engage because of the challenges of wrapping compound curves and many surface protrusions. After assuring a third business that we didn't expect absolute perfection, they took on the challenge. A forgiving feature of the image chosen was the subject matter. There were very few straight lines that had to be matched / kept straight and trees/sky/mountains can be blurry. Time will tell on its durability
  2. Santana bikes not titanium - mid 90's aluminum. Once we tried tandem...we're not going back. Like you referenced, we can both contribute to our capability yet we're still together...game changer.
  3. Wow! 10-12k miles annually is fantastic. Nothing beats gliding through a canopy of trees along an old railbed ...while imaging the original train passengers of a century past doing the same...but in rickety passenger car pulled by a steam locomotive
  4. Thks. Our road tandem has 1.1" (28mm) wide tires...great for asphalt but that's it. The gravel bike has 2.15" wide tires. This allows us to ride on loose gravel with great stability.
  5. Truck/trailer living up to their promises. Here's pics of our mounted bikes (test fitting carriers before paint), the vinyl wrap we dressed our trailer up with and our trailer at...the physical location captured on the wrap!
  6. Sher and I purchased our Elite II last Sept. One of our key hobbies are cycling old rails converted to trails... and Molly helps us do this. Using post to test my signature line.
