Hi Dirk,Thanks for you advice. It seems like that is more or less the same as the Tom Traylor head angle.
May I ask what you are riding right now? and also what is your experience at speed on a center steering bike?

Hello Dustin, My guess is that the pivot angle should be choosen large, e.g. 70 or more degrees, to prevent the weight at the rear to influence the steering behaviour. I do not think that the trail matters so much as the angle, and youprobably can get away with taking a trail similar to existing projects. So if you go flevo style, a positive trail of 9cm(?), then you will need a steering damper to keep the front part upright. If you want a negative trail (-14cm all up to -28cm), you won't need that as the bike will keepitself upright as you sit on it. good luck with your project! I'de love to get my girlfriend on a B2B-tandem!! best regards, Dirk Dustin Anderson wrote:Hello, I am in the process of building a Flevo Back to Back and am wondering if anyone could offer any wisdom. Pivot angle, Trail, etc. My wife and I have toured Canada on a MIC WIC delta tandem twice and have since sold the bike and I am going to build a dual drive train B2B for 2008. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks.
