Nice T&C there Rawbert, you don't find those that intact very often! Looks like an after market cycle truck stem on the front. I just love the curve of the rear seat tube, the "staggered" drive train is supposed to make these ride smooth as silk! That one is truly worthy of restoration or at least making it correct and a good cleaning. Most important take it out and ride with pride!!!Later & PEACE!!!! :mrgreen:

I've had an idea bouncing around my brain for a while now. I'd like to see a tandem, but with child-sized proportions for the rear rider. It would basically be like one of those add-on Trail A Bike things, but all one machine.

tlaing1's bike has the right starting proportions for doing this. I'm going to play in Photoshop later tonight..... :idea:

 

[blsm]

After a little work in Illustrator, I got the basic layout.

 

[Slick Rick]

I think it might cost ONE MILLION DOLLARS! But might complete me, come mini-me. Would you like a hot pocket? :mrgreen:

How is this for a ratty tandem.
It is a 1960s Italian Graziella 16" Tandem folder. Standard with apes and all.

i've been fighting with this idea for about a year, and the bike it's self about a couple months

http://www.forum.freakbikenation.com/ph ... f=1&t=2256

part of the idea was to keep the two people as close together as possible (the original idea was to use a king/queen chopper seat), but i think i may still need another 2-4" bettween them. i'm too far in now so i'm going to go with it and see what i get. found out i have another frame exactly like the one i used so if it's really close to perfect and those couple inches bothers me enough, i can try it again.

well here is mine i guess i should post it up need some work still but its some place to start.

 

[motopsyco]

Mine is already posted here.http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=42259&p=414405&hilit=tandem#p414405
I was planning to save it for next years build off but if you guys do a tandem build I might bump it up a little. :wink:

 

[Philphine]

just updating my pic 'cause i feel like i'm getting close

This is my Atlas Lemonade.
You can see more in this post. I built it for my wife and I. We have only gone riding on it once, but she won't let me sell it. It takes up a lot of space in the garage.

here is my up date i went to Dan @ Ichi in Des Moine and he hooked me up on a set of blacked out rims and tires and a set of apes. put those on and took this pic.

well that was really cool until.......... i bought a chopper bike with a set of 144 spoke wheels and then that lead to the last pic and i really like this look 144 spoke wheels with the apes.

well thats all got for now

Hey wingman!
If you need a rolling chassis for your build, I can bring this bike to the Vintage Bike Supply swap meet (or meet you somewhere)
make me an offer, or a cool trade.
TWICE AS NICE 8)

the parts I've since removed : cooler, sk8board, horn, front bars, and pedals
