and show us your bike please…………….cos i got a new one (to me) coming
and i want some inspiration. 8)

Not an owner but i’m qualifying myself on account of my surname being Swift. Also, I would like to see more pics of these myself as I quite like them…

Hope whoever’s image this is that i’ve lifted doesn’t mind! Lovely pic.

I really, really, want one of these… 😕

Currently borrowing this frame/fork from Sam. I can see why people rave about them. Really nice ride.

Surely there should be a ‘Swift owner’s pics’ sticky thread by now?!? 😆

can a hummingbird count?

sorry to be stupid but are they 26″ or 29″ bikes?they do look very nice 🙂

swifts are 29″ – hummingbirds are 26″

Here’s a geared one which is now with another forum member.

monkeyboyjc thanks. i must admit to liking the hummingbird 29″ bikes tis witchcraft i tells ye 😉 (or maybe that i’m only 5ft 5 and a quarter 😉

Paging Ton – What day are you leaving Liverpool?
Do you need a guide from your start point to the start of the route and for the first 10 miles?

Another Hummingbird

Singular by Richard Munro, on Flickr

john………….not set a date in stone yet mate.
when we do, i will be in touch. cheers.

just noticed that all the swifts are being run with flat bars.
is there a specific reason for this.

Ton, just get your order in at Sideways, Tim also sell IF’s BTW 😉

Ton – Was this after our conversation yesterday?

Do me a favour and also buy a heart rate monitor 🙂

Flat bars = lower front end on quite a tall bike. I could have the stem up against the headset and use a low riser bar but am not brave enough to trim the steerer that much. Flat bar looks nicer too for some reason.

I need to get pictures of my Swift up, as soon as my rear fekin’ wheel comes back from the LBS. 🙄

I dropped you an email so just email me back when you know. Are you getting to the start by train?

I’m running Ragley Carnegie’s now and it feels so much better than the flat bars I had on it for the photo

EDIT: looks like it doesnt work with picasa?

monkeyboyjc, I honestly think that’s the nicest looking bike I’ve ever seen on here.

And the scruffiest garden, so a 100% strike rate there, congratulations. 😆

Carnegie’s on mine too

monkeyboyjc where did you get the lowers on your reba’s colour coded and stickered up please????

Here’s mine at the start of the WRT sorry I haven’t got any naked pics of it, but it appears above in Chainslapps pic.

RD, what stem length and rise are you using.
your similar height to me i reckon.

Sadexpunk’s Swift by Johnclimber

Love mine. flat bars, negative rise stem and short headset to compensate for the headtube that’s pretty long.

@ stevemakin……………credit card wont take it mate, would love to tho.

bunnyhop……….just looking at hrm things now, i dont want a strap round the chest tho, can you get a watch type?

and carnegies hurt my wrist’s, tried em twice and sold em……..what’s new eh? 😉

Ton, you back peddling then great news if you are mate!

Tim is a Singular dealer as well as IF’s 😉

sadexpunk- how did/do you find the j bars?
Considering them or loop bars after listening/watching tazzy getting on with his- would they be more comfortable for a bit of road work than flat bars?

I dont think I’ve ever read a negative comment on a Swift.

How do the Singular forks (steel?) compare to carbon rigids ? Anyone ?

Great thread this. Here’s my Swift – sadly now gone 😥

is it just me with an Orange swift?

I go down stairs to finish my new ss wheel and come back to find this.

I’m really liking the Hummingbird but I’d have to sell my 92 Kona and I don’t know if I could.

I thought I had one more bike than I needed already.

I’m beginning to wonder if there might be room for two more than I need…

monkeboy: Lovely forks! How did you organise them? Through Singular, or a very clever paint & decal chappy in the UK?

can you get a watch type?

I’m pretty sure ‘Polar’ do them.
