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 "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.

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