S & S couplings are really cool but expensive. You don't want to spend that kind of dough on a cheap bike. They will not sell direct to the public, only to qualified frame builders. I recently got a quote of $600 to install a set on my road bike. (Not including repaint) Its around $3000 to have a new frame built up with couplers intstalled. My friend John has one and broken down it fits nicely into the back his 7A slider....not sure about the tip up. Another option is the Ritchey break away. Kind of the same idea in a stock, non custom bike form. I don't like the connection at the couplings as well as the S & S but it does the job and its a decent full sized bike.

We have a Co-motion S&S coupled tandem. The goal is to make her fit in the back of the 14 someday.

... We have two of these as well that fit in our RV-9A slider. Its a little tricky, but they fit fine. Thanks, Allan....:D

I have a folding bike that fits comfortably in the back of my tip-up -9A.

I'm not sure I'd get two in there, but one certainly fits easily enough, so getting one in a -14 should be a piece of cake.

Step one. Buy a bike. Preferably one that folds up.


Step two. Curse that your yet-to-be-finished -9A means you can't stand upright as you lift it into the back.


Ta-daa!
