My newest, a Rumblefish2, the most industrial strength FS I have yet ridden. This seemed like a good place to pose the photos.

Here is the 2008 HiFi, which I still ride.

that seems like a reasonable law you have there Repack
Ho much (lbs) are these SS rigid Swifts coming in at?
They seem very popular here, either that or their riders take more pictures of their steeds than the rest of us!

Hey Sam, if it's not considered highly secret, how many Swifts have actually been sold - seems like a lot of them are here!

Thanks for the advice. I'm starting with copper to get used to marking out and achieving the shapes I need. I've then got 3 metres of Columbus cro-mo to go at. Apart from shipping costs it is just as cheap to use basic Columbus tube compared to trying to find mild steel that isn't gas pipe / conduit. Packing the tube with dry sand seems to help avoid kinks and crinkles.
A few early pics are at on the Italian ss mafia's blog site - the chainstays have changed shape considerably since then. I really want to do a nice big sweep bend in the seat tube (not the tight bend shown) but it means making a big crescent template to drag the tube round - not sure if I can be bothered for a first proto.

Hurry up and get the new frames in then, you've no idea quite how upsetting these threads are to me at the moment.

I promise you - it's happening as quickly as I can possibly make it happen.
That's my name-sake!
What happened?
Under warranty? How long is the warranty? Is it one of the 2nd batch (?) re-designed with a brace?

i'm in the FoD and would love even a look at one. Its really my dodgy wrists that cuase the problems hence the need for a short top tube. Seem to remember that Gryphons don't go short enough. Would bve nice to be wrong. Matt

yer Orange swift is more niche than the blue ones 😉
Actually I prefer the blue, but at time did not want EBB and zipped tied gear cables..
rOcKeTdOg - really? want to borrow my specs?

in that's it's always been my opinion about the Giant maestro suspension bikes, the yes, you are correct
Don't think I've posted mine yet..

Really like it.
rOcKeTdOg, i was going to second rootes1's opinion of the anthems before you had chance to question his eye sight but alas i was too late 😆
anyway, i'm getting dragged along by this whole 29er thing so when you put gears back on your swift (you know it's only a matter of time 😉 ) can i have a go? 🙂
SS is fine for Warwick trails, after spending all my time out of the saddle up The Lickeys on monday night gears might be going on quite soon!
....roll on Oct though 😉

Drooling over all these. My Scandal and carbon forks are in the post so ill join the club soon 🙂 was wondering whether to go ss or geared but the SS stuff here is so nice I have made up my mind.
Mine's been SS since I got it in January, I like it, but I don't like the lack of speed with an easier gearing, the bad climbing of a harder gear, and the middle ground just sucks. I've only last week decided to go for a minimal amount of gears to get me about better.
rOcKeTdOg - Stu, 9 gears enough for you?
yep, you got a plan?
