1978 Gary Littlejohn Tandem
20" Littlejohn Tandem
This bike has all original paint and decals. I used a Redline nickel fork, CeBe slimline stem, box bars, Hunt Wilde grips, Ashtabula cranks, Union pedals, Femco wheels with a Shimano high flange coaster hub, Cheng Shin tires, Mesinger seats. For some reason Gary Littlejohn didn't build these with a chain tentioner, so I still need to make up a tentioner assembly that will clamp on, I'm thinking something similar to the clamps found on the sidehacks. 
I’m looking for a clean 1975 Mongoose (long) frame, and a nice original finish Mongoose Two/Four

It is pretty long, just pushing it around feels weird.
I thought of the bike trailer for the dogs, but it takes a city block to turn it around now.

Yea, the Littlejohns weren't designed quite right, they didn't even have a chain tentioner so the chain will only ride correctly if you have the right gear combination. I'm making a chain tentioner for it and there is a way to set it up with two chains which is what I'll do when I mount the chain tentioner.
