It's a fairly rare bike and boy was it rusty when I got it. SWING BIKES were built from '76 thru '78 maybe '79 so pretty cool to have one fall into my hands. It's not a restoration, it's a RAT for sure and yet a Muscle Bike too! I had some problems early on she was rusted tight. Check the build...

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 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...
Apparently, this is happening...

That new re-design looks awesome in my opinion...
