Shiv is the name of the "New" TT bike (Shiv as in Jail house knife or shank) <BR><a href="http://www.conradstoltz.com/specialized-shiv-tandem-concept-bike/" target="_blank">http://www.conradstoltz.com/specialized-shiv-tandem-concept-bike/</a> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/4387/752853.jpg" alt="Upload">

If I was on the back it would have to be a chick in the front. I couldn't imagine my head being that close to another guys ass.

The front crankset does not seem to be connected to the stoker's crank. Interesting. <BR> <BR>OK, I just looked and it's shaft drive. I wonder how they defy the law of physics and make that even close to the same efficiency as a chain. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by roverjohn on December 23, 2009)

Really, what's the point?

Its a concept bike!!!!! <BR>Doesn't mean its going into production tomorrow!!! <BR> <BR>Relax. <BR>I think it looks sweet. <BR>The front man is going to be stretched way out though.

I like it. I'd like to strap my boss on the back seat after eating chili the night before.

It looks pretty cool. <BR> <BR>I'm with ya on your boss idea Richard.

Yeah the face to bum proximity would be a huge issue, but I bet the hotties would be all over you on that bike, with your shaved legs and your spendex and your gloves. Yeah, I cycle because it makes me look cool.

ahhh..thanks for teh good laugh Richard. That was awesome. lol <BR> <BR>No doubt...your head is deep in the drivers ace. F that.

good write up on it: <a href="http://www.bikerumor.com/2009/12/30/specialized-shiv-carbon-fiber-tandem-aka-the-supersonic-divorce-machine/#more-12905" target="_blank">http://www.bikerumor.com/2009/12/30/specialized-shiv-carbon-fiber-tandem-aka-the-supersonic-divorce-machine/#more-12905</a>

"Supersonic Divorce Machine" <BR> <BR>Haha, love it! <BR> <BR>Not a chance in hell I would put my gf behind me on that bad boy.

Mark: on a Tandem the "Stoker" or person of power rides in the back. Im guessing you would be the one in the back. <BR>Its funny this bike is so awesome but all I see people talking about is how they don't wanna have another guys but so close, LOL
