Building a tandem

I have a small pile of old bike frames, a MIG welder, and some bookmarks to web pages about building things. One day they might meet each other, but don't hold your breath.

While the original plan was to build a recumbent, alternatively, they might become a tandem.

• Sheldon Brown's DIY tandem page
• A more elaborate method that gives a better sized back half
• One where the whole middle section is made from scratch
• Page about tandem drivetrains
• Another example based on Sheldon's method.
• Two frames spaced further apart without building a whole centre section. Looks a bit of a mess...

• Article about childback tandems
• Another article about childback tandems
• uk.rec.cycling thread mentioning childback tandems, and sequel
