Subject: [T(AT)H] More Interbike Report

Just a couple more omissions from/corrections to earlier reports....

1) Forgot to mention the Co-Motion Periscope, an interesting "multi-size" 
capable tandem with telescopic seat masts front and rear. One size frame, 
but seat masts can allow you to fit multiple teams. If Co-Motion can find 
short cranks, this bike has many potential uses for stokids/parents, 
without kid-back units! Also available w/Co-Pilot option, the frame design 
only requires 4 S&S couplers, making it one of the least expensive S&S 
tandems out there

2) There's been a lot of comment on the "Beyond" suspension tandem and the 
pictures floating around the 'net. According to Santana (directly), this is 
the summary of what's what: A) Vyatek made the tubeset and shipped it to 
Santana; B) Titus designed the rear Triangle/suspension and shipped it to 
Santana; C) Santana did the design drawings, cut the tube-ends, welded up 
the frameset, and assembled it, so it is definitely a "Santana", not a 
"Titus" w/ Santana decals. It's already spoken for (it's one tall tandem!), 
so some people may see it on the road in the southwest US soon.

3) Didn't see the Reevu helmets out there, but didn't spend much time with 
helmet booths other than Bell/Gyro.
