They were one particular of the 1st builders to embrace S and S Couplings for each single and tandem bicycles and they build incredible bikes.

Even my final trip – Delta did not charge me $150 for the bike (even though I did have to spend $100 for a second bag which is Delta’s normal policy on all international flights, oversized or not). Getting a bag produced in China may possibly be just as great but only somebody local like Mike is going to repair a bag.
