Swingbike

I finished my swingbike build today. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out even after all the problems and unexpected expenses.
This is my first time in a buildoff.
Here is what I started with.

Here she is all done.










Here it is before I made the sprocket cover.

Very nice indeed! I like the valve caps, I made a pair of red ones for mine.

Very cool. I remember when I was a kid in the 70's, there were a couple of these around, and I thought those were the coolest bike on the street.

Nicely done...

Is that knob underneath the frame in the back for locking it in a non swingbike set up?

Yes you can lock the frame so it rides like a normal bike. It is actually harder to ride in the locked position because there is a little play which makes the bike feel loose.
Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Thanks. I think the sprocket cover is my favorite part of the bike. It adds a nice clean look.
