About this bike
This is the first tandem frame I’ve designed and built. I made it for myself and my partner to do regular cycle touring trips and to try out some new frame building techniques.
It also incorporates my own designed and fabricated eccentric bottom brackets and rear tips. The maiden voyage will be a 4 week run through the hills of Japan.

SLED ! and then some…how long to brake a Brooks in ? 10,000 miles ? here in old Blighty we would say that bike has been “Tang’od” like I said SLED…keep turning those pedals
loooooks awesome…
Quite possibly the most incredible tandem that has been ever ridden upon this planet.
Nice bike! I’d be interested to hear how your pedals get on, I put a pair of CB Smartys on my road bike and they lasted 100 miles. I know it’s very green to use poppy seeds for bearings and cheese for the races but I found it wasn’t very hard wearing…
very inspiring! The frame is just awesome and the build suites it well.. very nice taste!
Fully sick bike, hey guys. The welder did a great job on that one. I tried a tandem frame bike before but i felt a little lonely by my self :( But boy is it exotic, like to ride that one on the coral sea…...........
Aaaaahh, perfect - I could put the MRS in the front and make her do all the work for a change!
Great build…...well done!
