Swing King...

Hello-

I've lurked around here for a while, and finally decided to make an account. So hi, I'm the newbie :wink:

I thought I'd start out with posting a few pics of my current project bike, and really my first expierence with bike projects. I'm a violin repairer (luthier), ethnomusicology major, and a general tinker making Steampunk items and restoring manual typewriters.

To this bike I added the fenders, white walls, bell, as well as tweaked the handlebars. Not a lot, but I'm very happy with the outcome. There may be more to come, I'm still debating that as I liek it as it is right now

Also, here are a few slideshows on Youtube of the bike before modification:

Theres quite a few custom swing bikes on here, search for them or I'm sure people will start posting them.
