[aka_locojoe]

With the latest swing bike to show up I got to thinking there's probably enough here that we needed a place to display them. Show your Swing bikes!

The second one I've built, it won first at the Boise Bike Week Fraken Bike Contest. Most votes and got the most at the Auction the benefited the Boise Bike Project. The Swing Bikes need Ape hanger bars to pull back easier. And I do have the real swing bake but its too hard to ride compared to our custom bikes

I started with the Tallbikes and it was only natural to get into the Swingbikes. I've made five so far. These are my favorites.

My ride the Vista

Daughter Beki's ride.She is the Queen of Swingbikes.

Daughter Amy's pride and joy and yes that is a Wobbley John clone.

Both girls carry their bikes in the back of their Jeep Cherokee's to ride anywhere, anytime.

12" mini swing

My "downtown" swing bike because I don't have to worry about locking it up and it's ghetto enough that no one will steal it.

Fixed gear swing bike

Theres some cool customs in here!

Just wondering, how different is the ride compared to a real swing bike with a spring?

The two custom ones that I have built are easy, the new Swing Bikes out there, Americas Bike Company Swing King like posted by
Strings_and_Steam has are a hard one to ride. It need Ape's and a Banana seat to help it out

As for the original Swinger, unless I'm to big for it, its hard...

 

[stretch]

i gotta get mine up here, but its in pieces right now.

 

[pvwacko]

Here's my home built! used to ride an original when I was a kid and I wanted one that was scaled up for a 6'+ person. building another that is a little smaller for your average person.

back in the day...

 

[Bral]

now, call me stupid, but what the heck is the use of this type of bike ?

 

[Graylock]

I think you answered part of your question but don't be hard on yourself. Study up a little more, Try some swingbikes, and then ask yourself again. You'll get it this time.

:wink: Graylock
