Oh and I also meant to say about the "BIG" guys who ride these bikes, I don't see you guys keeping them for a long time, Ton seems to change bikes quite often and Bigsi didn't keep his bike for long either!

mate, the main reason that i dont keep bikes for very long, is that
a. they are just bikes...nothing else
b. i can afford to swap and change as i please
c. i want to try as many bike as i can. 8)

Just to add to this the reason i no longer ride the Swift is because something heavy dropped on the top tube while it was in the shed denting the top tube 2-3 inches behind the head tube. This has since turned in to a hair line crack so its not safe to ride not is it economical to repair.

Sam has also offered me a crash replacement which i am yet to take him up on which is not bad when you consider i bought his ex-demo bike.

I would definatly get another Swift & fully intend to do so once finances allow.

Surprised that nobody has mentioned a Kona Unit 29er. Steel, sliding dropouts, not a Swift or On One (if that is important to you). I like mine. Not sure of availability though. I'm 179cm and ride an 18" which fits perfectly.

Gryphons not want I need, I already have a Lemond Poprad which I'll take anywhere!

I'm still looking, Sam never got back to me so I take it Swifts are out till the next delivery!

The only thing I can see that's still in the Running is the HX2.

Swift for me- had it a few months now and love it- my full susser is feeling neglected!
Surprised no response from Sam- he's always been pretty quick responding.

Agree with Pop regarding Sam's response time. He must be on holiday or there will be a perfectly good reason why he's not got back.
