Swing Bike bones

[oldbmxer66]

I traded some parts for these bones of a Swing Bike. It is in rough shape, the head tubes are both ovalized and there are a couple cracks in the rear section. The forks are not original, but he has a complete bike and these look really close. I only have one spring and the seat tube is rusted in really bad. I am going to start a build thread in that section.

Those are possibly the strangest bikes I've ever seen. I can't imagine what it's like to ride.

Great score, I have seen a few at the bike swaps out here but they generally command pretty good money to follow me home so I have not pulled the trigger for one yet. Any project starts with a good foundation and you have definitly got yourself a great foundation!

Also awesome example Leobeerguy, love the blue color, that bike is sweet!

If you could post a closeup pic of the two into one hookups for the springs and the frame lock thing it would be much appreciated.

I started a thread in the builds section and added some more pics. I hope other members will give me direction and ideas for this bike. I am a new member and have seen some great stuff on here.

Thank you for the photos. I finished it up this morning with a spring from the hardware store. It is too light of a spring for sure. I will probably buy a complete set of springs I saw on Ebay. Check it out here.
