: Hi Chuck,

: A 13ft strongback will work for both boats.

: Attached is a pic from last week of a Sonnet aboard my Triumph. The soft
: bag contains the boat and all paddling gear. The GP take-apart is strapped to
: the back of the bag . Total weight of boat and all paddling gear is about
: 40lbs(18kg). This frees up the hard bags for non kayaking related use.

: There is no contact between rider and boat, and the bikes handling is still
: spot on :)

: Tom

Hi Tom,

Nice bike, rode one last year I think (years seem to run together anymore ) was very impressed with the bike but can't tolerate the cramped position for long enough to use it for what it's intended to be used for. The older version had better egos for me :)
