Hey folks, 
Economics and non-use force sale of a would be beloved bicycle.
I rode it solo a bit, less than 30 miles, and did a couple very short jaunts with a kiddo.
It’s fairly swank, with a beautiful and expensive Velocity wheel set with a SON dyno hub.
I had big plans, but they relied too heavily upon the hope that others in the family would fall in love with the thing. 
I put clear helicopter tape on the top tube out back to facilitate feet upon it while legs were growing, and routed the brake cable away from that same section of top tube. Works like a charm. 
Never got as far as hooking up a light or connecting the front shifter, but I’ll include both a light and a front shifter in the sale. 
Hoping for a local sale, can deliver in and around New York and the surrounding areas, and I’m happy to $hip it.
And I’ll be keeping my captain saddle

Thanks much
-Kai

Ayayayay.  Going to talk to the family about this.  If nothing else, your post prompted me to finally put up my own FS post for the Long Haul Trucker that's been collecting dust in the basement.  

Got an estimate on stoker size range?  My youngest is 4' 10", my wife is 5' 10".

Might be worth mentioning that I have a child stoker kit that adds a kid-accessible crankset to a standard tandem. If anybody needs more info, email me directly. It’s been gathering dust since my kids were 4 feet tall, which has been a while.

Anyone have sizing input on these?  I have an 87 PBH which is usually around largish medium, mediumish large but im way out of the recommended range on the hubba tumblr.

I have an 86 cm PBH and bought a small Hubbuhubbuh. My wife is only about 5’ 2” so the S was the best choice to fit both of us. The bike fits me fine. Riv also recommended the S for me.

I’ve got a tiny add on crankset in a box somewhere as well, picked it up with intentions of installing, but never wrapped my head around it/got it done. I should dig it up and roll it out with the bike, which I expect will be sold tomorrow morning.

Tandem is sold, and will make the long trek to central Brooklyn tomorrow. (I’ll get to have one last solo cruise on it 🙃)
Thanks all

If it sells to someone in NY who wants to rent it to me a few weekends a year please hit me up!
