Have got till the 24th July to get my voucher, kinda undecided as to what/whether to get another bike, fancy a 29er and maybe something to replace my old Kona ss.
Can you get a Singlular Swift for less than a grand?
Any other recommendations?

You might be about to squeeze a rigid ss swift into a grand. Failing that there's plenty of complete bikes from fisher, kona, voodoo etc.

Have a look on the On One web site!
They have a rigid 29er Scandal for £899 with ave bits and a xt suspension version for a bit more! You could also up grade the forks a later day as an option!

I might have heard that they have some more coming in July, although that might have been steel inbred 29ers, I have a 456 and a Pompino so maybe a chance might be nice tho..

for £899 + wheel and brake upgrade, how can you go wrong.I have started to use it more than my other bikes

Single speed? Aye, tried that, but my 'mountain' biking involves hills.
My recommendation is a Gary Fisher (Now Trek).

Some will chip in here with cracked frame stories etc (probably 3 out of thousands but no one reports their frames haven't broken!) but I have a 2010 Paragon running a 120mm fork, I'm over 200lbs kitted up and ride some seriously bouldery trails up here in Scotland and it's been brilliant.
I'll sell you the ss conversion it came with! Posted 10 months ago # -
Well worth giving Roger\Dan over @ Head for the Hills a call to see what they can do. If you can provide some of your own components (saddle\seat\bars etc) there's a good chance it'll come in under £1k

Nick, I tried to do exactly the same thing last year.
Unfortunately despite the best efforts of the guys at "Head for the Hills" in Dorking we couldn't quite get a Swift fully built in for under a grand without making some really compromised component choices.If you're interested I can probably dig out the build specs we developed and mail them to you
