Singular Swift Frameset - Large
Hello all,
Not retro, but has a retro vibe.
For Sale is my Large, cream, Singular Swift frameset. It is the previous generation version to the current one, and can fit 650B+ tyres in the front and rear quite happily. The pictures of it fully built show it with 3” rubber and it has plenty of clearance.
The frame is 3 years old, but I have only recently built it up and it has been on two, dry rides so is in pretty much new condition. There are a few marks, but no damage or rust. An added bonus is that I am very paranoid about my steel frames, so it has had a large amount of framsesaver applied to the inside of the frame and forks. There is some residue of this on the frame which I will clean off, but it does not damage the paintwork.
The steerer has been cut, but I only took a small amount off, and it still has quite a lot showing, as you can see. I was planning on getting the position just right and then cutting it again.
This is for the frame and forks only - no headset, but will include the seat clamp, all the extra bits you get from Singular for cable routing, gear hangers, and of course the EBB insert and grub screws.
It’s a lovely frame to ride, with a proper springy steel feel, and with the B+ tyres it is very compliant over rough ground. Or stick some 29er wheels on and win some races. It is just a touch too small for me, and also not the sort of bike I need now. When I bought it 3 years ago it was what I was after, but I’ve been so busy with the family that things have changed. For someone who wants what the Swift is best at - fast XC use, steel feel, classic looks - it is the perfect bike.
I realise the colour is not the classic swift blue, but I think it looks really good, and prefer it to the blue colour.
Looking for £350 posted. Cheaper if collected from Sutton, Surrey.
