Limo rad rod, ex tandem.

[cinger]

Hello fellow builders and restorers.

My name is Gert, living in Belgium.
After the restoration of my tandem construction year 1934, I started with the conversion of a tandem framework to a limo.
This is the tandem that I restored.

This is the basis for my limo.

Actually I do not know whether limo is the right name for what I build!

Everything had to be low against the ground, front fork bent.
Back down.

Then position of the bottom bracket.

of course, there were also problems!!
the chain could not next to the frame.

Then could there be a first test drive take place.

GREAT BUILD. I like it.

 

[cinger]

is not yet finished, was a first test drive!!

I like the lines of the bike. Are you planning fatter wheels and another fork or are you gonna ride it, the way it is now?
Little piece of advice: if you're going to ride some serious cruises, I suggest you put on more comfy handlebars.
Looking forward to see it finished. Goe gedaan,menneke. :mrgreen:

As stated earlier, that was just a first test drive.
Tyre Fat Frank ordered in Germany.
And looking for a gear assembly with torpedo rem.

@ wimpy, steering must indeed be even better!!!

 

[cinger]

After a long search a hub to wish found.
7 gears and torpedo coaster brake.

sprayed with car paint, new rims, spokes and wheels could be created.

 

[bpellham]

is that lace pattern very stiff?

 

[cinger]

so far this is a solid wheel, but still have a few kilometres driven with it!
I think is best a strong pattern.

Coincidentally, a few old lamps can buy one for the tandem and one for the limo. the lamp for custom limo to battery.

 

[wimpy]

Cool!
I wonder, don't they sell Fat Franks in Belgium? At least Chopperdome in Gent should sell them, I think. Backwheel looks good,though.
And what about the colour, is it gonna stay this way?

 

[cinger]

be sold in Belgium, costs 35 €/piece.
20.90 €/piece in Germany.
well worth ordering them there, and correct service!
When I search the address on intrest.
