It was just rustoleum rattle can. I hope chrome fenders make it look even better. I found some motorcycle front fenders on EBay that I think will work great.

Thanks, I am thinking chrome fenders are next.

No offense taken, my first attempt was to makes the lines at an angle, but they did not look so good. This is my compromise I think the extra pinstripe adds just enough to breakup the color change. So for now the paint is a go.

The flowing flag is what i was going for, but it came out kind of stiff. Stars are the plan for the blue. I still am not sure if I will try a do-over. Not sure how to make it flow.

The paint job is complete. Please let me know what you think?

With the welding done time for some paint.

To Aline the front and rear chainrings I had to turn up this spacer. This is the 2nd try, the 1st I made from steel and it was too heavy.

Not sure why they look so small. I will work on that. I just take them with an iPhone. May be I should try a camera next time. We will see if that makes them better.

Ready for welding

The tandem rear trailing arm had 12 degrees of lift, not sure if that was important but I craved out enough room to copy it just in case.

The mongoose crank tube is wider and smaller in diameter so it worked well

To put the centerline of the crank in the same spot I turned up these spacers

Just need to work it some for the transplant to be complete.

Decided to cut the back off the tandem and replace it with the rear of the mongoose.

The mongoose arrived, not much on quality,

What do you get when you cross a Walmart tandem with a Walmart fat bike? I call it tandemonium. The tandem is ready and the mongoose is on order. Can't wait to start.

I have been a mechanic for years. Started with airplanes and then went to heavy equipment and now I am a shop Forman. Looking forward to my first bike build.
