So I got this thing so I can get some cool points..



It's a smallish tandem I bought from some joker in CHCH. It's pretty solid, it has front and rear brakes and is red.




Thinking of doing something cool with it so will need help and feedback from you lot on what to do!

GO!

Strap some engines on it lad

[Vintage Grumble]

I want to see you ride this from the back seat, with rope steering, and making horse noises.

A folding tandem would be ace....

And yes, needs a motor, wheres your old M series engine?

Also, make a trailer for it out of coat hangers.

And fit cup holders and a magazine rack.

Fill magazine rack with 1970's spec "biguns" spangle.

Needs rainbow streamers on the grips.

And double extreeeem ape hangers.

No doubt that thats where Caz will be sitting

[Vintage Grumble]

So its gonna own Caz in the nuts?

[Borgweiser]

I love how the passenger at back will be cupping some ass, a bike for lovers (man lovers?)

[Duddley]

yes to all of the above! Looks like I got some work cut out for myself. Luckily I don't have internets at home to sidetrack me.

Was thinking about getting a super long seat to go from the front to the back and get rid of Caz's ball destroying seat?

Also, how the shit am I sposed to make it foldable? double fold? Double ape hangers yes. cup holders and magazine rack yes. Engine will look into!

Should I make back handlebars even more so it'll cup ass?

[k-trips]

Just nix the whole rear seat etc and put the biggest fuck off motor you can fit into the space.. Preferably a radial 9..

[johnnyfive]

You got gears too bro, fully sieck.

[Vintage Grumble]

Ho shit, it do ave a geared hub it do, krickey!

[Steelies]

swap the front bars and rear seat for uber steez/ ease of use

[Duddley]

might have a crack at that tonight!

Also thinking I may paint it in this style.. . Photoshops to come!

[Leebo3]

Come for a ride this weekend Jeff Ro Tull.

[Duddley]

yeah bo! keen. when and where?

[Duddley]

I've swapped the front from my low rider



Plans are to get some suitable peddles, hand brake levers, matching handle bars, some seats and some slightly larger wheels. Pedals are hitting the ground as it is so larger wheels are the fast fix for now. However I would love to slam it more. So other plans down the line are still to one day motorise it and give it more of an oldschool biker gang flavour.

You fullas recon I'm heading in the right direction with this?

[Born Loser]

THe right fucken direction. Tick!

[DodgySam]

I think you will run into headaches trying to run bigger wheels.
The rear triangle/chainstays will have to be cut off and remade/welded.
And thats just the start of it.
Id look at finding some shorter cranks and chainrings.
That will give you the ground clearance for pedalling...but otherwise I like the change in look...its tops!
