Sorry to get off the topic, but, how was the Swift? I think they are a great looking bike and seem to be pretty god value, but don't see any out there on the trails.Hi RFG,
I have a set of barely used Jet Blacks with rotors/cassette/ adaptoers for QR/15/20mm/ stans rimstrips and tyres for sale for $300. I purchased them for commuting and sold the frame after two weeks. PM if that is of interest. They are in the photo on the Swift. I removed all the decals - ugly.
Cheers

The Swift was purchased as a commuter to replace a frame that cracked. I already had a HT 29er and really needed a road bike so I sold it two weeks ago. I only rode it off road once - rigid and ss and really enjoyed the experience. It was surprisingly compliant (more so than my old alloy Ventana) and the angles are spot one with the suspension corrected fork. It was stiff, perfect size, silent, capable, stunning to look at, very quick and climbed well. They are great value for money through local importer and well supported. If I was looking for a steel HT it would be my first choice.Sorry to get off the topic, but, how was the Swift?

Whenever I get the shits with the track ends whilst changing a flat on the Karate Monkey I swear I'm gonna get a swift, but then I start riding again and forget about it!!
