And yep, I thought all Tippas were carriage shift anyway - having to move up to Juniors or a Gabriele for basket shift - little do I know.Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558523755501505700.post-44230730997779528812014-09-05T11:58:55.651-04:002014-09-05T11:58:55.651-04:00You do have a lot of patience Bill :) It is a sham...You do have a lot of patience Bill :) It is a shame about the weight, after all your TLC it does have a very nice typeface.. just a shame it doesn't meet the other criteria :) PerthDailyPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077053209100022305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558523755501505700.post-71704748508627197072014-09-05T00:39:55.669-04:002014-09-05T00:39:55.669-04:00I had one of these too, but found it very loud.

Heavy, vertical movement unlike the nice tilt of a Skyriter or Hermes Baby. Even my Montana Luxe has a nicer tilt shift of the carriage. This one is heavy and the scissors spriings do not have a tension adjustment that I can find.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558523755501505700.post-39944708030556193182014-09-02T03:25:19.702-04:002014-09-02T03:25:19.702-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558523755501505700.post-80463127379405028532014-09-02T02:16:14.449-04:002014-09-02T02:16:14.449-04:00Nicely done. for some reason I thought Tippa S'...Nicely done. for some reason I thought Tippa S's were basket shift too. I liked the one I had, but not enough to keep it either.
