    Lime Twist

    I built this frame years ago using a 2000’s reproduction SWINGBIKE rear triangle. It was used as decoration on my wall for the past few years. I decided to finally build it up. I just ordered a bunch of parts. Hopefully it will be complete by the deadline!

    Krome Krate

    Hey guys. It’s been a while.. Am interested in selling this bike to help fund another project. ( the one in the background). It rides nice. It has a few dents and flaws but for the most part is a very clean, attention getting rider. The front wheel and fork are vintage five speed Krate parts...

    Three wheeler to two wheel conversions

    Well, I haven’t done anything with pedal bikes in a while. I was presented with a trailer full of three wheeler parts and asked if I could make motorcycles out of them.. Yep.

    Wheel covers

    I have been asked to make these for someone. I have the design work done and ready to be cut. The problem is I have to order a minimum of $250 worth. Would anyone be interested in them at $75 a set for mild steel plates? They can do stainless as well for about double the cost.

    swingbike $275 shipped

    This only needs a few bolts, nuts and tubes. I will send a hook for the spring too. It is not pictured. This is a frame I completed with a 2003 reproduction rear triangle. It has never been assembled or ridden. I used some bad paint then started to sand it. Now it matches the aged seat. I made...

    Pumpkin carving

    We are having a pumpkin carving contest at work tomorrow. Wish me luck. The competition is pretty stiff. I am entering these two.

    Crazy cool stuff for sale.

    I'm going through another phase where I need to off load stuff so I don't end up a hoarder. I'm not just going to give stuff away for free though. I think these are fair prices. I am open to offers. Shipping will be the best rate I can get and depending on distance. $225 per swing bike frame...

    Columbia

    This is my latest find. It was actually peiced together from four bikes I picked from scrap. The lock was even from the scrap pile. I guessed the combination and took an hour or so to put this together for a free fresh find. I have the chain guard at home but it needs to be straightened before...

    Chrome Krate

    $250 + $50 shipping. This is a chrome 1976 Schwinn stingray jr. with a krate fork. There is a small dent in the top tube near the head tube. Most of the chrome is in great shape. The forks and sissy bars have scratches. The seat and tires only have about 6 miles on them.

    Sweet Chariot (class 2)

    Swing low sweet chariot... Late entry. I wasn't going to do it but My 8 year old son got pretty excited when I showed him this idea. He will be helping out with this build. I will have to make a bottom bracket and dropout extensions. This should be fun.

    Chromed stingray jr?

    I picked this up today. It appears to be a chromed stingray jr with a krate springer fork. Was this ever a factory option or did someone actually have this chromed?

    Swingbike Frame $225 shipped

    This is a custom build using reclaimed metal and parts. The rear dropouts are spaced for a 5 speed wheel. This frame is very strong. It is in white primer. This should be the last item I need to sell before I can get a better welder; one that uses gas. Seat post is included but not in the picture.

    Custom Swingbike for sale

    I built this several years ago because I wanted to get this idea out of my head and see what it would look like. The idea being a muscle bike theme taken a bit further. The frame was built without a jig. The upper frame is not 100% straight but most people couldn't tell even if you pointed it...

    I just commuted 18 miles on a motorized swingbike.

    I just rode a motorized swingbike about 18 miles to work. I nearly destroyed the rear slick. The chain was rubbing the sidewall. I may have to get a narrower tire on my lunch break. The headlight shook loose. I stopped to tighten it. The drive chain stretched enough that it fell off twice. The...

    Limo bike

    This is the name I remember hearing it called. I have a family reunion coming up and I am recreating a bike my grandfather built sometime around 1978-1980 as a tribute. I think it will be a fun thing for the family to see and ride. As he did back then I am keeping this as low budget as possible...

    More Swingbikes.

    I am going to try to get a small business going. I will be building recycled metal frames to fund the tools and materials I will need to start the all new metal bikes I plan to do. These will only be for sale locally. For now I just want to share the builds.

    1984? Redline st20 three series

    I found this today in a scrap pile. I was told I could take anything from the pile. I have too many bikes already but it looks like it could be a fun build eventually. Maybe put some super skinny rims and tires like the wheel on my dragster to match the delicate looking frame.

    Bobber Jr.

    I picked up a stingray jr frame and an engine kit for my kids for Christmas. I want to have them do as much of the build as possible themselves. I was going to have them cut and prep for welding and build a frame but everything fits so perfectly on this one that I see no need to modify it or...
