Derailleur mount.

That is a great idea! I will look into it. It sounds expensive though.

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.

I just listed five of them on eBay. Wish me luck. I have a lot of money and time into these...

38, I have liked bikes ever since my grandfather bought me my first bike (A used girls straight bar 20" banana seat bike). I loved that bike but the stingray my brother got a year or two later is what started my fondness for old bikes. A year or so after that I was looking through a junk yard...

Question... I have never used springs. I don't like them much. Should I weld the spring tab things on? I kind of like the clean look of not having them.

$250 shipped for a complete frame set!

Same deal, $225 + $25 shipping. The locking mechanisms have not been welded on yet. They would be rideable if only assembled as they are. I have a few more forks now. Price will change once locks are in place and again once painted. Whatever I have left when I am ready to paint will be a...

Looks great anyway.

This mini mag is the biggest gear I could fit on the front. (Is this the same thing?) I am not so sure about the fenders myself. These were just rested in place for a mock up. I have a chromed stick shift. I think if I find a 3 speed hub and use the shifter I will add the fenders but for now I...

Here is a mock up.

I need to find a smaller seat too. This one looks too big.

The serial number is for a 1976. The headbadge is white with blue letters. I have seen that on other bicentennial bikes. I'm thinking of making a mini "krome krate" out of it. The 16" wheel looks really small. I may look for a narrow 20" wheel and tire.

I sold the original orange frame and swapped everything over to this custom frame. A little gas and pop the clutch...

I really like what you've done. I'm sure your changes will look great as well.

I thought I saw it on eBay a while back.

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?

No takers yet. I lowered the price and put it on eBay to see what happens.

(Update 8-23-17) locking mechanisms are now on! $250 shipped for a complete frame! I just purchased all remaining rear triangles from the 2003 run of swingbikes with the exception of a few stragglers. I have 10 kits available.

I tried using some old paint. A lot of it came out okay but some of it had some issues with not setting up or the metal flake pooling. Etc... I probably hurt the value by painting it because it will be more work to sand it down again but I have added some cool and some rare parts. The front disc...
