if you put one on the front too, it will be amphibious like ours are... the link won't go in, but google Ventura kinetic race... keep up the good work...
@Whymcycle Great idea, when I ride through a puddle deeper than three inches the rear tires float and loose traction. The front tire is a bottom hugger, it does not float. I am keeping up this kind of work, I am just about finished with my next one, I will creat another video when it is finished.
@mysock351W Thanks for the comment. Actually, I have only raced in the sand drags (100 yards) and turned a 19.9 second time. That was before I installed my 52 tooth high gear.
@misfitt58 Yes, it does have a full set of 10 speed gears. It has a 52 and 36 tooth gear in the front and a 5 gear cluster in the back. The last gear, which is mounted to the differential is a 75 tooth gear that I had to make. This gear reduces the entire gear ratio so I could ride around in the sand dunes. First gear, (low gear) is 2.75 crank to one tire rev. This gives you unbelievable power, it will pull stumps out, you can drive up a set of stairs....
I looked under both crank tubes and every where else and I have no number. I do not remember seeing a number whem I built it. I cleaned and sanded the entire frame before I painted it and would have noticed a number.
I met you today at the parade. We were with the speed team. Again, totally sweet! Really enjoyed the conversation today about jet design and carbon fiber. Also, to get the year of your tandem, check the Schwinn tag on the front. Th
e last digit of the four digit number designates the year. If there is no number, it is older than 1970. If there is a number, such as '7' it would be a 1977, 1987, or 1997. Good luck, hope to see another bike and hope you get more hits on your youtube!
@73ford250 Actually they sell for $650 new, they were given to me Kenny Bernstein a few years back. I am not sure how much they cost today. I had a tire re-caper grind off as much rubber as they could to save weight. They ground off 21 pounds from each tire and the composite wheel only weighs 5 pounds.
I originally built this bike to ride around in Silver Lake Michigan sand dunes. I started with my paddle tires but it does not ride well on the road.
but will it blend? :troll:

@blimpmanrunning All joking aside, it does look pretty cool. Be a neat toy to bring to a hotrod meet.

@mysock351W, my guess is the cardiac arrest of 3 maybe 4 riders should do it.
