Nice video Luke,
That bike looks good and is a "shoe" in with the kickstand tip!

Thanks Carl! That was my one little thing I wanted to add! Found that little shoe at the start of the year and have been waiting for the right bike ever since!
I think it is meant to be a key ring...

I am going through some of my old builds and updating them, starting with this one.
In the end I decided this build was too dangerous.
I'm too old to be bouncing off tarmac like a teenager, it was fun though, but I think the heavy rear tire is not the best on a swingbike, just too much pendulum action when turning and too much weight when you come off it and it lands on top of your mangled body...
Anyway, parts of this build have found their way on to quite a few builds since, all that remains now is the rear triangle and the long forks.
It was fun, and I learnt a lot, so I still call that a successful build!
