Wow! Looking cool up on the jig!

Belt would be a good idea. I got the forks, cranks, and seats where I want them tonight. It's just a game of connect the dots the next couple days.



Spent a lot of time tonight looking at tape measures, plumb bobs, levels, squares, and straight edges. Glad the hard part is finished!

I love how you make it sound as simple as a game of connect the dots. This thing is insane!!

By the way, don't forget to put your pin on the BONINE WORLD MAP

The rear steer tandems are tough enough to steer, this is going to be a real adventure to ride. Pretty cool.

May be a bit like driving the enterprise -'right turn out front, steady as she goes in the rear'

Another night, another step in the right direction. Almost looks like a bike this time!

I am surprised you didn't call this the PushMePullYou.

I got the frame done, but it's still on the jig. It's time for all the small pieces now. The chain tensioner is coming together nicely, it's almost time to tach it to the frame and get the chain in place.

Looks really cool!Looks like a metal sculpture on that I-beam/jig. Can't wait to see it rolling!

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I've gotten a lot done in the last week or so and haven't posted any of it. So here it goes...

I built two adjustable seat brackets. There's wing nuts on the bottom to loosen the seat and slide forward or back.


I took the gear off an old derailleur and made a bushing in the lathe so it spins nicely on the bolt.


More lathe work for the tensioner. My first design didn't work like I wanted and this one broke under stress... the square tube didn't hold up so I'll make new arms out of solid steel. But the turnbuckle works perfectly to adjust.


And the pic everyone has been waiting for... my buddy and I trying to figure out what's broken



Still need to make brackets for brakes and work out the bugs, but otherwise I'm getting close to painting it.

 

[kingfish254]

Sweet! Those seat brackets look like Elgin Twin Bar brackets

 

[raggedjim]

Yeap, that's cool.

Great job, Rg

 

[No Joke]

looks like fun.

Don't have a picture but during the few test rides I've taken, the bike rode great on and off road. I got the chain working properly (and not fall off). The fork was the weak link this time... that's what test rides are for... so I've worked the last few days to make them stronger. Handlebars are in process, and brakes need to be mounted. It's getting close!

Don't let off the gas! Not very fat to go now!
