    RETROADSTER, a quad tandem

    Very Cool! I like the design you're going for. Do you think it will ride easier with the body (more aerodynamic?) I've seen a few people make streamline ones here in Minnesota for easier commuting in the snow and cold

    56T: Finished (with new pics)

    How about stars and jewels on thick sammich panels to match your chain ring, and maybe a curved outline to the panels to pick up some of the other shapes of the bike frame... just my $.20 (and probably all it's worth LOL)
