SSMTBs

Lovely. I just had a spin in the local woods and was reminded that SS is hard going for a middle-aged fatty :-)

You know we were just talking about getting a new frame for my wheels?
I want this one...

Tis quite nice. Made by Schlick Cycles

Only $1299 for the framset. Better just stick to one red and one black then.

Buff, frozen trails yesterday. Snowy, slushy, muddy shitfest today. Tougher going. All good :-)

I want one of these.

SSDH

me too
looks ace

What is it ?
Makes me think of a very updated and lightweight BMW....... if they do such a thing :)

Edit.
Found the blue link.
Understood some key german words like rad/bmx/konstruction etc etc only 16.02kg just needs a bashring/skidplate and i would cartwheel that down Fort William for them :)

lightweight BMW

What can i say :)
I do have a cold, and have been taking lots of pills/drugs/cough medicines, it may have clouded my judgement somewhat :)

Thanks for the heads up!

Not as sexy as most of the bikes in here.
But it's mine

Would need a new crankset and maybe a fixed gear rear wheel for winter as hydralic brakes doesn't handle the temperatures up here

Would ride ✓

That's lovely. Swifts are some of the nicest looking SSMTBs I've seen.

New one looks good (forgive lack of SS)

Old one to make up for gears

Nice. Cable disc brakes perhaps?

tested cable brakes before but the condensation get in to the housing and they freeze the next time i go out :(

Been around -28 to -35celcius up here the last week or so. Would be nice to have a fixed wheel to put on for the winter riding, just so I know that nothing will brake haha

As it's a Singular page now......

Might have some SSEC still on the PC somewhere.

I very nearly bought a Swift. At the time i swung towards a Karate Monkey because it could run any brake and i couldn't afford to get a disc ready 29er wheelset and brakeset. Couple years down the road and i still haven't got disc's on the Monkey but slowly gathering parts.....

There is a nice simple elegance to the Swifts and i do like the colour.

Wish they'd start making the Peregrine again :( Been on the hunt for an XL since about a month after his last one was sold.
