The Swift is by far the best looking and most comfortable saddle in Brooks' entire range.
Definitely more streamlined than the 'standard' B17.
I would entirely recommend them. I have used mine for a good 6 years solid, many many miles. I practically forget my saddle when riding because there is simply no discomfort to remind me of it. Go for the big brass rivets. Well worth the money. If I were in need of another I'd get the Ti railed version just to save on weight.
The swallow looks ace but I find it too lightweight. Perfection has come in the shape of the Brooks Pro (copper rivets) cut by Skully to look and ride like a Swallow but more substantial... I have these on 2 road bikes and cycling to Paris on one was comfy as...
Love my Colts too.... though long hard miles to break in! have on my 2 fixies.
