Save the swager !

Stephen here for Bilenky Cycle Works; after 3 years of operating through and after Covid we are figuratively and literally in debt to friends, family, current and previous workers, and the US Govt. (SBA non-forgivable EIDL loan) Everyone would like to see some payback, especially the SBA. We would love to get on an even keel and keep repairing, refurbishing and building cool bikes. One solution was to sell our least used, but the most valuable machine - the tube swager. We discovered two things when we posted that we were going to let it go. There was keen interest from other builders that wanted to get some tubes tapered. There was also a lot of support for keeping a wide range of capabilities on hand to service the cycling community. This machine was from a prominent framebuilding shop and it would be satisfying to keep the legacy machine portfolio intact. We now have some new and current hands that would love to dig in and put out awesome steel and Ti creations, repairs and restorations. That's where you come in - if you can pitch in and help us retire some debt then we can get back to cranking out the work that we all like to see and ride.
