I think a tandem trike converted to a single forward rider and a 5ft long wooden stake bed would be cool hahaha
the ultimate swap meet hauler
my 45 second rendition without the trike part lol

Only a midwesterner would think that sumthing like this is cool! Thank God I'm a country boy! :mrgreen: This is by far the best looking redneck swapmeet cart I've ever seen! Needs fenders with big lights mounted on them, tractor seat and a snowtire on the rear (that's all terain tire for you southern rednecks).
May I put this in my "Crazy Shtuff To Build" folder? That would be great for taking my Pot- bellied Hogs to market! Now I got to start a pot-bellied hog farm. :shock:

Thanks Hooch, if we lived closer the world would be pretty cool-scary! 8)

Oh No! :shock: Could be a frame mod needed! :shock:

On the rear of the frame, near the bottom bracket and between the arms that the wheel sets in, is a tab that usually holds a fender at the bottom. It's in my way! :x Is it o.k. with you guys if I cut it out or at least "bump it" with a big hammer? I think that it will probably break off if I try to bend it, cause it's aluminum.
Otherwise the tandem becomes a Parton Pixie for 2! :? :roll: :cry:

drop handlebars,
sit on the front seat
pedal with the back pedals
fabricate a drag wing from the back seat over the back tire.
fabricate a gas tang for the front part of the frame between the handlebars and the seat :)

I hope this gives you mind something to chew on :)

mine fell off my schwinn when i applied some leverage with a screwdriver, i guess you could always tie a cable around a tree, thread it through the hole and take off on your bike like a madman, but that would require a video camera :D

P.S. i dint think it would be anyworse than knockin off a factory cable stay. but im not in charge, just ask my wife !! :mrgreen:

Decided to leave the fender tab alone. Going a little off course from the original direction, but you guys didn't know what it was exactly, so don't worry.

Found an old luggage rack.
Image

Squished it out and stuffed it on the bike.

Hey! look what was hiding in the "Scary Room"!
Image

Not quite what Hooch had in mind, but I think he'll like the direction I'm going. :wink:
Image

Probably will be Tuesday before I can do anything else. This little wagon has also inspired me to go Flat black, red and off white. More than likely will go with whitewalls. Also planning on doing some wierd stuff to the front end!

It's like a crew cab short bed pickup. Make the front look like a Hummer
