All complete bikes are assembled in house by experienced professional mechanics. We take care over your bike - every thread is prepped, every bolt is torqued correctly, cables are cut to the right length and brakes are bled. For bikes being shipped, they are carefully packed and require only minimal reassembly. Though, where possible, we encourage customers to visit one of our workshops to have a shakedown ride and get your set-up perfectly dialled in.

The above specification is subject to change with part substitutions as availability may dictate - you will always be consulted on any such change.

N.B. Bikes built from our Portland, USA workshop will come with Astral Wheels rather than Hope. They will also have brakes set up left lever front, right lever rear.

Just a simple steel mountain bike. That was what I set out for when I first conceived of the Swift some time in 2005. At the time, 29" wheels were just entering the mainstream. I had a clear conception of what I wanted, what was available was not it. I originally set out to create a single custom frame for my own use. That vision was of a rigid mountain bike frame which was able to run as a singlespeed, made from lively lightweight steel. I ultimately contacted the factory in Taiwan (which produces Singulars to this day) requesting they make me a 'sample'....

I took that first bike to the UK and world singlespeed mountain bike championships that year (a burgeoning cult scene at the time) and received a lot of positive comments. So a production order was made, and the first batch of Swifts landed in early 2007.

Lightweight, well proportioned, nice handling steel mountain bikes continue to be relevant for many people's modern riding. The latest Swift takes that nearly 20 year old concept but brings compatibility with modern mountain bike componentry.

Smooth is fast - the Swift's supple steel frame and fork combine with high volume rubber for a sublime ride over any terrain. 

Rigid, but suspension friendly - while we love riding rigid forked bikes with fat tyres (and the stock Swift fork certainly does that beautifully) sometimes a bit of squish is nice to have. The Swift geometry is designed to be able to swap in a typical 100-120mm travel suspension fork for 29" wheels. 

Eccentricity is good - the Swift has an eccentric bottom bracket shell. The primary benefit of this is for tensioning single cog drivetrains - whether singlespeed or an internal hub gear. However it is also really useful for fine tuning the bottom bracket height when using different size wheels and tyres - for instance switching between full 29+ and a typical 2.3" XC tyre. 

Bring on the mud - being a 29+ compatible frame, the Swift's mud clearance is nothing short of epic. But it's also one of very few true mountain bike frames which comes with mounts for full length mudguards

Keep 'em outside - All cables are routed external to the frame with neat modular cable guides. This makes maintenance and parts-swapping a breeze.
