Swing Bike...what a BLAST!!!!

[Clothespin n]

well...I quickly learned that for 1/2 hour I was the Commander,
and then one Hard right turn...and I was the slave :shock:

That bike is the Most Fun thing on 2 wheels I have ever ridin!

here's a few Pic's.Future Plans;
(1) change the Dayton Rims back to Regular Spoked Rims.
(2) Change the Seat Back..and Forks Back
(3) Find a Shorty Front Fender
(4) Ride it like it's a Rental!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The Video wouldn't Upload fast enough at my Girlfriends here,
so I'll post it next week..It's a pretty cool Ride for sure!

peace,
Kev.

Cool, it looks like alot of fun. Are you gonna take it out on a Vancruiser's ride? :mrgreen:

Yes Sir I am..but I bet I'l be WAY AT THE BACK! :lol: :lol:
which is Just fine with me..that's where Sarah and I enjoy
being.

When it's Locked in Non-Swing Mode it still has a Bit
of Jiggle / Play at The rear which is the way it is I guess.
And with the Play of The Springer as well, it's easier to ride
in Swing Mode than Locked :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Oh well..If I'm at The VERY BACK this time instead
of my Usuall Rear end of The Ride than I'm ok with that.


I'm starting to Like the Daytons a Bit Myself! :mrgreen:

THis looks like a fun bike.

You should get some looks on that thing for sure!

Can't wait to see it restored...the banana seat is awesome.

 

[RatFink]

WOW

That thing is COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Great shape...not a bad buy at all for a vintage swing bike.

Plus the parts you take off are good for re-cycle in other projects or re-sell for cash $$$.

I remember the commercial on the boob tube when I was a kid...my Mom saying 'that's the most dangerous thing I have ever seen'. LOL

It plucks you off REAL QUICK if your not paying attention.
( note to self....."SELF, pay attention" :mrgreen: )

Check out the video of the 'new school' swing bike:

If you run out of dangerous things to try...that will give you some ideas.

P.S. these new bikes are cryin for the Rat treatment!!!

P.P.S. I can see where having a springer on a swing bike would 'make it just that much more dangerous' :mrgreen:

they used a Circle Jerks song in the video...

it kinda gets tiresome watching them do the same thing over and over though...
one wheel on the curb, one wheel off...
