Wow I can barely manage to keep a stable of 5 single rider bikes, let alone 5 tandems I have limited space and already have to store the tandem outside in a common area so probably need to keep it limited to one at a time Hopefully when winter comes I can keep it out of the rain, or perhaps store it at a friends

I stripped the old paint and treated the frame with naval jelly in a few spots. Hit it with primer this morning before it got hot and the wind picked up.. i'm hoping the heat of the day will help "bake" on the primer. I used two cans of primer and there's still some spots where the coverage isn't complete, but it's pretty good. I think i need to pick up a 3rd can

this is my first time painting a frame.. trying to take my time and do it right. based on the time spent, powercoating might have been an easier (and likely more durable) option .. except we don't have a way to transport the tandem. plus, projects are always fun
