My first attempt at a build: Introducing a "SwingBrat"

[swingbiker71]

I bought a swingbike kit from bikebuilder, and today was the first day I started. As the title says, obviously I'm getting parts off an old "Bratz" bike and others to complete this build

Still have a ways to go, will update soon...

Looking great already! I really like that springer on there.

Cool! Those kits look good!

I still have my daughters bratz bike. I have to follow this one. Sounds like a great use of it. Kudos.

Nice! I'll keep my eye on this build for sure

A little more welding, cutting, grinding and most importantly, brainstorming!!!

Went slightly off-kilter from the kit and instructions.. (sorry Bikebuilder)...

I dont mind at all. The idea is to make it your own. I am excited to see the rest of the build. The design with a single support down the middle is likely stronger than the original design anyway.

Looking awesome, talk about an organized shop also. Never rode a swing bike, those things look super fun.

Swing Low

I got a quick paint job (temporary) and a different seat and sissy bars, crank and chain on to give it a trial ride... I'm getting there, definitely need different wheels and tires to make it ride like I want to...

I would : flip seat bracket, & set nose of sear, forward.; would look, & fide better.
Excellent job, on this build.

Small update...20" BMX rear mag...16" front wheel from all things, a MALA brand easy locator GPR... I have access to quite a few of them...A little on the heavy side but will never go flat...Few more sizing modifications for rideability..(6'3" height)...Then I'll take apart and paint it proper...
