Not the typical build thread, but still a project in the end. I did some looking into Tandem bikes, they are expensive and hard to find. I was not interested in investing the money if it's no fun for me or the other half. I did some looking on the internet found some how-to's. Manufacturers show the frame geometry for their bikes, I did some measuring and came up with the frame size that would work for me and my girlfriend. I acquired some old donor bikes and started cutting.
The Donor Bikes
Layout for fitment of tubes
Fitting of tubes
Tubes fitted and taped in
Tubes all welded in place
Frame blasted
Powder Coated
Complete
Total investment was just under $100 and took about 15 hours.
$40 for new cables
$40 for the Tubing
$12 for the pair of seats

Very neat idea though, how is it to ride? Nice dirt bike BTW.
If it's smoken it ain't broken
