Any P.I.G. Bikes out there?

[wheeliekool66]

I always thought it would be cool to build a period correct pig bike from all pre stingray schwinn parts. So I did the best I could.
The frame is an old 1959 20” someone had turned into a bmx bike at some point of its life.
So no harm no foul, making it my own creation.
I hand made the chain guard & 33” sissy bar. The front fork is off a 26” with a 16” front wheel. I painted the frame to match the fork and stenciled in my favorite Schwinn graphics.
The second photo is how I received it.
I would love to see all those PIG bikes out there!

There is a 24 page thread on these in the Custom bikes forum for you to digest. They’re cool. I’m working on one very slowly past couple of years like Pee Wee’s ball of foil

Picked this up yesterday. Have always wanted a pre-stingray muscle bike. Time to build one! Anyone else have one?
