Couple of pics of my Swift with recently colour matched forks, big thanks to monkeyboyjc of here for the idea and also the image for the stickers. See his thread [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/singualr-hummingbird-fork-respray ]Hummingbird Fork Respray[/url]
Oh and its running 32:19 with a on one stainless front ring and a surly cog
Just built this up yesterday so had to take it for a quick spin, even though it was snowing a bit 😉

Let me tell you a little bit about my bike before your put it out of it's misery.
This is the second one , it's nicer than the first, but the idea is to build a short chain stay twentyniner that will also run belt drive option
Chainstay length is 407-427 mm that's centre to centre that's 16 a 16.75
I did all the drawings and got it made out of ti in china with a company called XACD

I really like the idea of it. Always been a fan of the e-stay bikes. I think as more all-mountain 29ers come out this option of the shorter wheelbase would suit down to the ground. Am i right in thinking it runs round an effective top tube a bit like mr jones? So us lanky sods would be right over the rear wheel?
Andy_Baz - That is a very sleek looking bike, are you happy with the frame?

Now entirely white courtesy of the chalky sticky surfacing some enlightened farmer has laid on the track just above Swanborough on the South Downs Ridge.

This one has a 450 seat tube and a 609 effective top tube which keeps the front wheel forward so no toe overlap and allows me to run a 50/60 stem depending on the bars
ds3000 - extremely happy thanks. Great ride, fast handling but not twitchy, really compliant rear end (cue jokes...), grip like I've never had before and such a beautifully put together frame I can just sit and look at it. Built mostly from the classifieds and has come together really well. Running 32:18 (Middleburn RS7 Uno/Gusset sprocket) at the moment. Works well on most offroad but a slightly spinny on the road bits.
