Morning peeps
I'm nearly there with my swift build - alfine, halo freedom rims & twin rail 2.2s, magura julie carbons, alfine crankset, thomson/syncros bits & bobs, charge knife etc. Just need a couple more bits and then its all systems go.
Show me some pics of your swifts please, i'm getting impatient 
Oh go on then
Sam has some on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/singularcycles/
Just to join in, mine should be shipped to me either today or tomorrow
a bit marmite.................
like i care what you think
And for anyone interested 29er Conti MK2.4 = great volume and traction in pretty much any terrrain barring tree roots, MK2.2 = poor volume and traction. Both run tubeless. Just buy the 2.4.
in action (so to speak) 
sadly no longer with me
Can someone explain the droppy bars to me? I'm not being critical, I just don't really get what they are for on a mountain bike.
imo it rides better with them then again if i could have drops on all my mtb i would but it requires silly stems and odd things to make hydro brakes work
mine.
lots more pics of loads of swifts on the flickr group:
Mick i think you need to get yourself another swift

How do you rate the Brooks saddle? Is that a Ti or Cromo one? Very tempted but want to hear someones experince of them first.
Cheers

PS Nice bike you have there.............it just looks right! 
Sanny, that's a cromo B17 Narrow that I trimmed down (gives it more spring and doesn't rub on your thighs). It's the best saddle I've ever owned, by far. Super comfy right out of the box, and it's only getting better. Saddle bag loops are great (not that anyone other than Brooks makes proper saddle bags any more). Only real problems are the weight and the need to wear padded shorts. Although I'd consider buying a new one if it was ti and green (to match the Gryphon).
I have quite a few, so I'll just give you the latest one.
Itching to get mine built now, hopefully be here Monday.
JoeNation - ever heard of Carradice? Think they might have something to say about no one except Brooks making real saddle bags any more. Don't Ortlieb too? (The answer to that is no,only wedge style packs).
Join the CTC, you'll be amazed at what you can "still" get from their bimonthly mag.
Fair point, I did know Carradice still made them. But apart from those two...
Nice aint they, havnt got one, never will, but they is agood looking bike
