I see the top of the swing mechanism is a spare stem, very innovative! hows the bottom held on?

Is this the first "no weld" swing bike ever?



mciver.... Its called a swing bike, it pivots in the middle for some wild rides, lotsa fun! and a excellent way to use up junk parts.

Swingers are the best! It's hard to go back to a non-swing, they just feel 'boring' afterwords (in my opinon)

I liek the 'no-weld' solution, if indeed it is weldless? Maybe soem more pics of the swing joint? I'd love to build my own from scratch but I have no welder

But here's a couple pics of the one I bought and 'ratted'

I built this one no weld 3 years ago. It is my second custom bike ever.

Very cool. I'd like to see or read a little more detail on how you did it.

I will load it up and bring it Sunday. Bit tougher to ride with the standard seat that is on it now, but still a blast.

Duh! I shoulda known.... Cause I remember your no weld tall bike. I just didnt know you had a swing bike to match.

Yes the bike is welded together (not pretty but they work)Here is a couple more pictures

This section was made from a scooter laying in my junk pile. I cut down the scooter forks
for the pivot.

I used stem to help support it, so I could ride it (I am not a little as I once was) The front section of
frame is from a girls giant, the rear section is boys huffy. Total cost was less than $12, I
must say it is the most fun I have had riding a bike in a long time
