Here are some pictures of a Schwinn Typhoon that I made last winter. Using 2 Schwinn's. Sorry about the dust. It has four Schwinn Badges on it.

The Schwinn rides like a dream. Once while riding accross town at a faster than normal rate I went over a sidewalk ramp and developed a top end death wobble. All I could do was .......step off and run, while the bike tumbled behind me. I wish it was on video. Now I've added a pin to keep it from flexing at speed. Iv'e slowed down some also. Gary

That is awesome! I like the paint scheme. Looks like Schwinn could have made it.

 

[CHAMPION123]

It's the actual paint scheme that was on the bars. I used all the men's Typhoon. And the front portion of a Ladie's Schwinn that had that paint scheme on it. Next I add some nice crome Schwinn fenders, I need to find a black Schwinn seat with the white "S" on it. And so on.....it's fun to keep on the lookout for Schwinn parts for it. My buddy has a crome rack that I'll try to talk him out of. Thanks, Gary

Yeah Schwinn parts are fun to find. I got a few Schwinns.
(A '54 Wasp, '56 American, '58 American, '60 Unknown, '66 Heavy Duty, '68 Hollywood, and an '82 Cruiser.) :mrgreen:

Here are some more..

Sort of a muscle bike, drag bike, swingbike concept build.

It didn't have brakes, well it still doesn't until I put a cable on, but I found a cool band brake that I added onto the rear hub. It is bridgestone brand.

I already had a picture of the blue bike on here, but The red one is new to this thread. I built these for the kids to ride.

Are there any resources online to show how to build these? Mostly geometry and the like. These are cool!

Here is a post to a Swingbike build i just got done.

The basic plan can be used to make a Mini or a Full sized bike.

I see Bike Builder has some close to the same.

Here is one I made from a cpl of dumpster bikes. Used a green basecoat and a can of spray glitter with a lot of UV clearcoats on top to get the metal flake effect.

 

[Dizzle Problems]

Just built my first one with the help of a friend on the welding. These things are a blast to ride!
