Standard— The easiest way to get a Swift is to order it

Standard—
The easiest way to get a Swift is to order it directly from my partners at Xootr.com for $750,
and they’ll ship it to you the next day. If you like, I can also modify one of these bikes to
meet your individual needs, substituting various components to suit.
Stoic—
This one is rebuilt from an old steel frame for a very discerning rider who wanted nothing
but the best basics available. He specified a Sachs 2 speed kickback coaster brake rear hub,
451 Sun CR-18 rims with Schwalbe racing tires, a Brooks Professional racing saddle, Nitto
track bars, a Sugino crankset and bottom bracket, and Shimano 105 headset. Some of the
parts were donated by the customer, cost was about $1100.
Special—
Custom orange paint, a very smooth-shifting internally geared Shimano Alfine 8 spd. hub
and Versa integrated shifter, Sram Apex integrated crankset, Tektro short-reach V-brakes,
titanium stem riser, Primo Comet tires and a Velo Plush saddle brought the price on this
one up to about $1600.
Sublime—
And this one, my personal favorite, is the epitome of Swift development at the moment.
Using a first generation lightweight aluminum test frame, superlight aluminum racing fork,
titanium riser, sweptback bars, and an Alfine 11 spd. hub, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted a
Swift to be—light, efficient, and versatile. It’s priceless and some of the parts are no longer
available, but I could build something similar for around $1850.
