It looks like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cycleologist/432806119/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/149/432806119_7a11a96046_z.jpg"></a></p> <p>I borrowed it a few years back for the Gadget Show race through the city:</p> <p><a href="http://fwd.channel5.com/gadget-show/videos/challenge/road-trip-part-1" rel="nofollow">http://fwd.channel5.com/gadget-show/videos/challenge/road-trip-part-1</a></p> <p>It was possible to have front control on the older steel/ti Pinos - never saw one like that, though. Theoretically it could be done on a new alu Pino as well. Or, you can ride a normal one from the front if you hold the handlebars behind your head ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36243 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:29:10 +0000 DaveC 36243@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wow, I think I'm tempted to come in early to see this bike. Now to get up at the crack of dawn &amp; ride in or bring the bike i/on the train... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36237 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:57:37 +0000 LaidBack 36237@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Side by side tandem trikes are maybe easier/safer if you want couples fighting to take control...!.</p> <p>I'm sure Hase did have an option once for the early Pino... need to dig out an early brochure. As you say I can't imagine it applying to gears. Even back in late 90s Hase seemed to think of everything... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36197 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 08:15:45 +0000 Roibeard 36197@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dual controls sound intriguing - I can probably imagine some sort of intercept in the steering and additional brakes, but can't work out how the gears could have additional controls.</p> <p>And every imagining seems a horrible cludge and, as you said, terrifying!</p> <p>No doubt this is due to my lack of imagination and an elegant solution could exist - have you any examples in mind for dual control tandems?</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36188 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 21:45:48 +0000 LaidBack 36188@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yours may be the only titanium Pino in the Scottish sector of this island. There are about 3 'ordinary' Pinos in Edinburgh.</p> <p>Velo Vision had an article about a couple riding one in the Lake District</p> <p>When I was looking at a family tandem way back in 1998 I had Pino on my list. I liked the idea of having a dual control one where the recumbent pilot can fly the thing and terrify the person on the back.</p> <p>In the end we went for a Thorn Voyager the first of many non standard machines to come... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36160 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 15:59:30 +0000 Roibeard 36160@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hey, I'm on holiday so don't need to worry too much about the day of the week...</p> <p>Yes, Wednesday was what I was aiming for!</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36158 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 15:51:02 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 36158@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hey, I'm going off the Countryfile weather report - I'm not to blame if the weather remains fair! ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36157 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 15:49:41 +0000 Smudge 36157@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"How about I roll up this Thursday morning instead"</p> <p>If you do, you'll be late... ;-)<br /> I believe the plan is Wednesday before the weather (allegedly) breaks on Thursday :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36156 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 15:37:38 +0000 Roibeard 36156@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How about I roll up this Thursday morning instead:</p> <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3465" rel="nofollow">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3465</a></p> <p>Clearly there might be a demand for amusing ourselves with the oddest bikes we can lay hands on for a future date...</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36151 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 15:19:23 +0000 Smudge 36151@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Indeed, good idea, I can't make this weekend, or next! However when one arrives that I <em>can</em> make, (or at a PY morning) then I can show off/offer shots on any one of (only) four bikes, book in advance or take pot luck as to which one turns up ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36149 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:33:11 +0000 chdot 36149@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Any idea why I can't get the official quoting to work?"</p> <p>Nope</p> <p>But I do know that the list function messed the CCE layout on some browsers when I tried to use it, so clearly some bugs. </p> <p>As to 30th - I'll be in London, but don't let that put you off. </p> <p>I'm sure it will be so successful that there will be demand for a repeat. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36147 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:16:17 +0000 Min 36147@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Any idea why I can't get the official quoting to work?"</p> <p>Yes.

Pinos?</p> <p>Can't help with the pluralisation, although apparently the riders are “Pinonauts”!</p> <p>I’m afraid that after riding it for a few days there is an inverse invisibility field evident. A machine to puzzle pedestrians, frighten dogs and intrigue cyclists – definitely not one for the shy amongst us!</p> <p>@chdot</p> <p>&gt; How about an hour or so<br /> &gt; one weekend?

I want a go!"</p> <p>In the early days of CCE there was a call for 'meeting up' to see/try bikes. </p> <p>This developed into PY coffee mornings - which aren't suitable for everyone and tend to be rushed. </p> <p>How about an hour or so one weekend?

I've only ever seen one titanium Pino before and it belonged to ex-Cyclefest organiser John Bradshaw. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36059 Sun, 24 Jul 2011 08:08:41 +0000 custard 36059@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>interesting machine </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3461#post-36058 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 21:58:21 +0000 Roibeard 36058@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've just bought a second hand Hase Pino from Kinetics...</p> <p><a href="http://www.kinetics.org.uk/html/pino.shtml">Kinetics (Pino page)</a></p> <p>Made the mistake of riding it solo, then hiring it for the day with my wife - verdict was that it made her feel like a teenager again!</p> <p>So, despite not intending to buy a tandem, we lasted less than 24 hours before turning the hire into a purchase.</p> <p>As a tandem, it's pretty versatile - we can swap positions with heights of 5'10" and 5'4", but the latter found the front a little bit of a stretch. We're told that trimming the boom a bit should sort that, but I don't want to do that just yet.</p> <p>With steering similar to that of a cargo bike, it takes a bit of acclimatisation. Hopping on to it feels odd, but I got so used to it after the hire that the next morning's commute felt strangely twitchy and speedy!</p> <p>A Pino can be quite an investment, so if you're thinking of getting one and want to see it in the metal, PM me. We've got the Rohloff geared version with a titanium frame (no longer available), but the geometry matches the current steel frame and is very similar to the coupled aluminium option.</p> <p>Robert </p>
