Oh and I also meant to say about the “BIG” guys who ride these bikes, I don’t see you guys keeping them for a long time, Ton seems to change bikes quite often and Bigsi didn’t keep his bike for long either!
I had a swift, it’s nicer than the 2005 Rig, and steering a bit more nimble than a 2010 Rig with non-G2 forks. Still miss the 2004 Supercaiber which was a fantastic frame if made for a lighter person than me.
However the Swift acted as the crumple zone together with my wrist in a high speed stop. Impressively Sam offered a crash replacement terms which I have yet to take up as the wrist is still not right. 😥
I would recomend a Swift (other frames are available) the Chumba looks good value if you can get the right forks
