It still exists
You wouldn't have a line on a extra seatpost would ya? I haven't started any fabrication yet...Oh man.... looks like lots of struggles so far....going to be well worth it in the end though!!
Will be following this build for inspiration on the two Swing-Bike projects in my basement
Here is hoping you don't accidentilly or otherwise break anything in the process. That.... I think I'm getting tetnus just from LOOKING at that thing, and for a vet of these boards to comment on the amount of rust?I've got to get the seatpost out and it's the most rusted one I've ever dealt with.
Go back. Read it again. I eventually cut it apart and welded a piece from a donor back in it's place. I'm about 90% done stripping the frame using a flap wheel and the rust has been coming off with the paint. There's one little spot eaten thru behind the sprocket on a chainstay but it will be filled with weld and closed no problem. I appreciate the concern, but really have no worries. I think I mentioned early on that it's not gonna be a restoration, I'm not that guy. I build rats. That's why I love it here...Here is hoping you don't accidentilly or otherwise break anything in the process. That....

That... is CONCERNING.

Biggest thing will be finding or making a bolt long enough.
GC.
Yeah I'm thinking threaded rod if I can't find a nice 10" hardened bolt.Could you make due using a length of all-thread with Loctite'd jam nuts at the top end? I'm unsure if the threads will match your wedge, though. Even if they don't, it's probably easier to tap new threads than to fabri-cobble a specialty bolt.
Dude that Blackstar is a killer amp. This one is a 20 watt driving an all original Teisco cabinet loaded with two 15" Pioneers! The one under the truck is a Jet city 20 watt combo pushing another 15' speaker cabinet. I run them in parallel and can split them on the fly into two distinct signal chains. Look me up on Instagram.

Awesome model, great amp. And I did as well.

The text before the first picture said I built the seatpost. The idea of a swing bike? It's almost all original, I'd say it's more than an idea. The post I created was made to be cut down, hence the phrase "bigger than it needs to be". Why would I do that? Handlebars are a big part of it. Choices. I'm big and the bike is small. What bars will I use? Not the ones in the pic is all I know for sure, I'm picking another set up Saturday night. The seat? Probably, but will it be at that height or angle? Again, it depends on the handlebars. Choices, dude. I'm not locked into anything just yet. We're over two months from the deadline, plenty of time to decide.This is a most confusing bike - I saw the first picture and wondered why you were moving the handlebars so far back...
It sure fits the idea of a swing bike, but will you be shortening or shaping the end so that it is less long than the saddle, or will the seat be changing somehow?
