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.

More info on the build progression: www.primateframes.com.au

Aaaaahh, perfect - I could put the MRS in the front and make her do all the work for a change!
Great build…...well done!

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…
