i'm cheating......

......on mary...........WITH OUR NEW FRENCH TANDEM WE HAVE NAMED GILBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! isn't he amazing!!!! the maker is gottfried


he is so pretty and in wonderful condition. we found him on craigslist for a steal!!!! typically tandems are $1000 and up but not this beauty wasn't! i am still a little shocked that we got it for a low price of $500 and everything is in working condition comes in the original water bottles too!  we are not sure what year he is as there isn't a ton of information that we could find about him so we will keep on looking. he needs some new cables and just some regular maintenance but we will be taking him for a spin this weekend...going on a new trail we haven't been on yet!! it is called the iron horse trail and it runs from walnut creek to dublin. i am super excited to test him out and see how he rides!!!will tell you all about it next week......wwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

don't forget to enter my giveaway if you haven't yet :)
