I'm planning on getting a 29er to run as a rigid singlespeed after an epiphany on one of the on-one Ti 29ers at the w/e. Sadly I can't afford one of them so either of these 2 are on the cards. I'll be putting the lightest wheelset on I can afford but everything else will be for the long haul rather than weightweenie.
I'd really like peoples opinions on:
1. Comfort of the 2 frames.
2. Weight, given that I think the swift is close to 7.5 lbs and the on-one 4 lbs with forks. The swift strikes me as a bit porky but does it ride porky? I want something that rides light but know that this isn't always down to absolute weight.
3. Handling and ride. Is the now Alu Scandal a harsh ride or is 7043 wonderful stuff (I can't find any info on it at all, so I haven't the faintest idea if it's cheese or weapons grade!). Is is the swift scaffold rather than supple?
Any other pointers gratefully received,
Cheers,
P
