Just been to Swift Cycles in London and seen their Fairlight bikes that are about to come out.
Designed by an ex Genesis guy, they have the Faron which is like a croix de fer and the Strael, which is 853 and road/audaxy.
Seemed quite impressive, shaped 853 tubes, two lengths of headtube for different fits, rack and mudguard mounts, etc. The skinny tubes looked a little funny next to that headtube I thought.
Use Hunt wheels on the Ultegra build.
Their facebook page is a typical attempt at generating internet fervour and they are emphasising their ‘European-ness’ :

but the guys at Swift Cycles are really nice and seem to know their stuff. Bikes over £1200 get a free retul fit I think.
Frames will be coming into the country in 2 to 3 weeks so I am going back to have a closer look.
