Makes it a '68, right? Here's one picture, I will email the other 14 pics to Kenny and he can post more if he wants to. Overall, bike is very nice. Seat is mint, chrome and paint are very nice

Yes, it's a 68, but should be a single speed. So, is this bike red or pink Mike? hahaha I still can't tell from the pics. I just paid attention to the name on the chain guard. If it was originally a 3 speed, it would have said Swinger III on it. I had a chainguard from one once upon a time. It should also have had a chrome seat post if the chrome seat post clamp is original. I still like it though. Wouldn't give 500 for it, but like it anyway. Kenny.

It appears that this bike was ridden a handful of times, then put away. I will post the pics in my 'Official Murray Chopper' thread when I get a chance. Also been trying to find the time to do a 'line up' shot of all the choppers together, that should look cool.

Those seats were sold as accessories in many areas of the U.S. and Canada in the early to mid 70's, they were made in Holland I believe. Some Euro hi risers came with them in the early 70's. I have an old black one still. They come up for sale on Ebay occasionally. JB

It is a violet color if that helps. Mesinger made some high back spoon seats for a couple of different bike companies. I think one style was called the "Big Dipper". A photo would get it identified quickly, might be for a Vista or a Stelber made bike.
