[el sammo]

haha the stuntbikes are in freight and the tracks shut here for maintanence so im goin a bit buck wild

[Large]

That's great.

Any chance of a close up of the hinge mechanism?

[Snaffler]

we await some wheelies and stoppies :D

hinge it from the fork neck also to get that sucker really crossed up sammo

[Gix11]

Nice one Sammo. It's a shame the cross bar gets in the way of your leg when you get it tight. Maybe that could be sorted if you found a girls framed bike that goes down near the seat post? That would give you more leg movement and a tighter circle hey?

Either way, top effort mate.

yeh it was all a bit experimental the angles of the headstem and stuff make a big difference to how it rides

lots of fun anyway

[BANDITROD]

thats fucking cool

[rock hard]

as usual Sam top work,your shin looks like a work out stoping the back getting out of hand. could you put some sort of brake around the rear headstem..

I reckon they brace it up the top rather than down the bottom like a girls bike so that you can still pedal when it is 'swung' ;)

totally going to the local tip shop to buy two shit bikes and going to make one lol:D

[Loki]

I got one of those...a 1976 "Swing bike". Mine has 2 springs that attach the back forks to the main cross brace, which kinda makes it pull itself back into the usual configuration...

[el sammo]

cool as! yeh springs would work good hey, you have any pics of the proper swing bike?
