SWING BIKE BUILD
I've been itching to birth one of these beasts for a while and the planets have finally aligned. There are quite a few variations out there of how to go about it. I chose to float a steerer tube forward of the seat tube and create a square frame that more or less maintains the seat tube angle. Here's a bunch of build shots of the usual ratty jig - also made to pump out a few of the square frames for future experimentation. It's made from all recycled tubing, repurposed from otherwise forgotten and discarded
bicycles. I made a kind of double ended joiner for multiple swing
appendages which may appear in other variations.
