Limo rad rod, ex tandem.

Postby cinger on Wed May 16, 2012 2:03 am

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!

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:

And looking for a gear assembly with torpedo rem.

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.

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?
