Title: swingbike
Post by: martin46 on February 07, 2007, 07:04 PM

my boss (KEV) pulled this out of his loft today. Its a late 70's American made swingbike, i'd never seen one before today so did a bit of research and it turns out that they're pretty rare over here and there are a few collectors around. its also the first time i've ever seen a 16" blue tuff.

its a bloody nightmare to ride with the swing lock undone although kev was pretty handy on it, riding it along with the front wheel and bars by the side of him and going round in circles looking like he was power sliding sideways, looked funny as fook.

Swing bikes are very cool, wish i never sold mine :'(
I had a yellow one and it was a proper laugh to ride. Try crossing your leg over the cross bar while your rideing, its the best :uglystupid2:

I think that's cool. 8)

What sort of money does he want for it?? I've no idea what something like that would be worth.
