Fixie styled Tandem?

Just bought an overhauled Tandem frame,

Fancy building it into a singlespeed with the typical fixie parts, outrageous colours, deep walls.....

What do you Reckon???

I'm not sure..have you eaten all your dinner?

Cranks will be a problem as will chain tension

Do it, brakeless

as long as has fluro wheels it might work.

i has one.
still overcoming financial/drivetrain/paint issues but it will be done.
double spok?

don't expect to ride it brakeless or even with one brake.

brakless tandem, hahaha

where did you get those templates ?

haha fuken amazin'

Plus you is slow boy;

Some mentalist on here built this thing... iamrussel?

This took a hell of a lot of skill to balance...

Plus you is slow boy;

no rear brake and cottered cranks. Smart mother fuckers.

I'm only concerned about the front rider's thighs, hitting those bullhorns every.fucking.rotation!

The stoker's also going to have a face full of ass.

While on the subject of tandems, why are the cranksets always installed the same way like in Fig. 1? I'd think that installing them at a 90 degree angle would help overcome the dead spot (Fig. 2). Will the bike become unstable if the two riders' movements aren't synchronised?

People have experimented with different phasing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_bicycle#Crank_phase but the conventional 0° phasing is the only one which really allows out of the saddle efforts.

Standing up on Swains lane on a tandem is hell on earth. Fast short hills out of the saddle are fine after a few miles but slogs are best done sat down in a silly low gear and sweat it out. Tandems are so much fun it's surprising more don't indulge.
Granny gear ftw.

We are yet to master tandem pedal stomping.

Some of these look mint.

Got some good ideas.

Hadn't really thought it had been done before.....Although it has, and been done well.
