Hello,  I just got my first Swingbike this past summer 2012.
It was Green and in poor shape. I restored and repainted the bike.
 
I Love this thing and the other bikes that I have.
 
With parts bikes around, this has promted me to build a Mini Swingbike.
 
2 16" bikes and a Trail-A-Bike frame.
 
Done now and hope to take some photos today Dec 22/ 2012  ,
if the weather is good ( snowing where I am ).
 
 Ran into a few problems, few I can fix, one I can't.
 
Plan to get it right next time,lol
Oh, there will be a next time. Want to make a Smaller 12" X 10"-?   & a 20" x 16" ....
 
Adding a Pic of the rear frame for now.
 
Cool place you have here, Cory

Thanks Bob, as much as I like that grape seat it was too long for that small frame.
 
Changed it out for this black one.
