Greetings,

Hope all is GREAT in the land of Swingbikes!

Above are the photos of our yellow unassembled Swingbike that we thought you'd be interested in seeing.

This is just as the bike was removed from the box. For some crazy reason we removed the bike from the box years ago. I believe we needed the box for holiday decorations.

The bike has always been stored in our attic and never exposed to the elements or even dampness.

We bought two Swingbikes in Spokane Washington in May of 1978 at a special sale on the Spokane Fairgrounds, an orange one and a yellow one. At that time I was working for Bose Corporation and did lots of special events. I will tell you that the bikes were a close out and on sale for......I'd rather not say!

We put the orange one together and rode it in front of the house. Probably about 150-200 feet. We then promptly put it away for the family we never had. So, we decided to sell them on eBay. We sold the Orange one in December and now we have the unassembled Yellow one listed.

The bike is just as it was when removed from the box and has the original hang tag as you can see in the picture. Also included is the warranty card. It is sealed in the original plastic so there is no way to get a good photo of it. Maybe the next owner can photo it and sent it to you. We do not want to undo any of the original wrapping.

Hope this helps out with your collection of Swingbike photos. What an awesome bike!!
