Description Hello, my name is Andrew. I was going through an apartment building basement of a house that was abandoned today and found a bike that has "Swinger I" on the plate that goes over the chain and gear. It has a 70 Bendix coaster break. It is a single speed banana seat with long handle bars. Paint is in good condition. I don't know anything other than that. As far as I can tell, it seems to be in pretty good shape with little rust. If you could give me any info you might have, i would really appreciate it. Thanks, Andrew

Re: Swinger 1 Bicycle

I remember those, my parents wouldn't let me have one, bought me a three speed " English Racer" instead. Seems strange seeing one again now, these date from the late 1960's as I recall and came with a variety of models, some were single speeds, one model was a five speed with a stick shift on the crossbar ( later removed from sale due to problems collisions with important parts of the male anatomy).

Thanks for your response. Before posting this appraisal listing, I emailed the owner of that website but he never answered my question regarding an estimated value of the bike, he would only say that it looked pretty good...
