LBS is a 'singular' dealer and had a squint as his Swift last weekend.
Quite taken by it I was. Will test run next saturday.
Any good and are they worth the money/investment. I'm 5'9'' but really fancy a 29er for off-road and commute duties.
Recommended builds?
definately work a test ride, better save up though, you'll probably like it a lot
Any good? I thought so and now have two Swifts, one fully rigid SS and one Rohloff hub geared with suss forks. Brilliant bikes.
You're welcome to a go on my inbred if you want to compare Alek
I hope they are, I've got one in the cupboard that I'm slowly building up.
I've never heard or seen a bad word against them which is unusual 😉
why in the cupboard si dont be shy just come out and say it loud,
you goner run it ss,(tony)
they are great bikes,i think most riders go for the looks i did, but then you are totally amazed how well they ride,ive done everything on mine 24 hr,cyclo x ,mountain bike races and go out with all my normal riding pals and keep up,i do single track ,drops (rolling) steep decents all rigid ss,
i av noticed all the good things they say about 29ers and none of the bad,i would say i ride this bike quicker than any of my others and ive got a few
Ek, ask Steve to stick the rigid fork back and a 29er front wheel back on the Hummingbird. I've a sneaky suspicion it would suit ya better.
What are ye up to tomorrow? Fancy Tollie Path ... one final big mountain-ish route left this year? Me, Bri, Ross and Plow are in.

Tony - It's in the cupboard as i value my life and wouldn't get away with coming home with another frame just yet 🙄 Planning on going 1x9 at the moment and see how i get on with it, wanted the EBB so i could run ss in the future if i can get my fitness level up to/weight down to where it should be 😳
sounds like a plan,you goner go rigid
got the singular forks but am thinking of trying the suss forks first and take it from there, its going to be my endro bike for next year and i like my comfort 😉
Cheers Iain............will look into that mate,
May even give the gears a go and then hit the SS full on.....
