same idea as the swingbike. I built one, it's a little odd but lots of fun to watch people try to ride it.

my circa 1990 Vista mountain bike frame with second top tube from a 60s girl's cruiser added in, aluminum louvered tank plates made at a hot rod shop and painted by me. motorcycle chain coaster brake arm mount, brass door knob added for effect. late 20s gothic truss fork. fun pub cruiser.

Does my new grocery-getter count?
[Found an old Steel MTB frame in the local rubbish coral round the corner. Bit of angle-grinding, some powder-coat from the nice people at Armourtex in Hackney and some choice parts and I can now present 'Grocery Getter'. Waiting on a kickstand and some sort of box for the rack. 3 speed Sturmey Archer with back-pedal brake, hub brake at front. Seriously good fun.

and those red rims give that bike a bit off the hot-rod style Because off the love for brown parts we build bike's like the following.
Dutch design MultiCycle frame ( New Old Stock ) in ivory and just that little bit more brown with the tire's from de Chopperdome over here in Holland.
With a nice heavy duty front carrier ( those are a hot item now here in holland )

That wood recumbent looks nice, excellent woodworking skills!
You must log in to see it because it's on facebook. I recommend setting up an account.

Facebook is noit the best place to send members due to it's various security risks and other member's account which may not be humky-dory to all from time to time. A photohosting account, personal website or posting here is preferable to joining websites pell mell, willy nilly. A video site like You Tube that doesn't require membership to view is fine but remember that content should be acceptable to administrators and members (do recall 'rickrolling' and why a few members got banned at least temporarily).
Another reason is evident in some threads where the photo was deleted by the photohost and there is a sea of X's and error messages and then never edited by the poster(s). I wish the admins would contact them or clean those up as they are a disappointing eyesore,

I would like to see it but I don't prefer to go to Facebook. Can you add the pix as attachments? I believe that works.

I can't remember if I posted this before, I don't think so. I love riding kustom bikes.
When the bike was first put together, its a nice rider:

Heres my 50's style hotrod. I love this style frame, all aluminum, I've added WTB Velociraptor tires, Oury grips and low bars. Very comfortable bike. Nothing to custom, but really enjoy riding it.
