Jim states:

"This (green) bike is the New England Muscle Bicycle Museum's [www.nemusclebikes.com] first Swing Bike. I love the color and the fact that the seat does not match the paint. This one is my rider."

"(The photos of the yellow bike) are of a bike I have just found. The yellow one is my 3rd Swing Bike and my first with a chainguard. It is a NOS bike that has been inside a shop in NY since it was assembled in 1976. It took nothing short of a full frontal assault to pry this from the shop owner's hands. Oddly, this is more like the Swing Bikes we are used to than it is like Brad Chupic's blue chainguard bike. My yellow has new style grips, regular stand, regular sticker and no sticker on the guard. See my second Swing Bike (orange) in the unopened box in the background."
