Swing Bike

[St.Peter]

Rebuilt

a swing bike. Works great. Powder coated instead of paint

How do you steer the rear wheel?

 

[bairdco]

With your hips. Those things are super fun, and super sketchy.

Good job on the resto!

You Tube has some good videos of people riding Swing bikes.

I also have an unrestored orange swing bike

I built a custom one last year from a carcass I bought from a guy who thought it was beyond repair. Got it for $100. Had all the key parts, frame, fork and spring mechanism.

Sandblast, paint, wheels (front 16" drum I had laying around for years) and a little time was all it took to get the death trap back on the boardwalk, slaloming thru the crowds.

Sold it for $450 after American pickers had one on their show.

I have one new that I ride in parades. I fall off and the crowd cheers.
