Thanks guys, what a warm welcome for the Swift.
Great company that stands by their product too, Singular, excellent email comms plus the decal was sent to me as a gift. That I bought the frame used did not matter to them, Kudos. And to me it at least it does have a retro feel to it (half the Singulars I've seen have Brooks saddles fitted).

Clearance above the front wheel is trademark Singular geometry, long rigid forks with plenty rake. This achieves a good "trail" value for the front wheel contact patch for good steering without the need for a very steep head angle common in 29ers. The alterior motive is that when fitting 80mm suspension forks the head angle actually steepens thus correcting for the low rake of typical suspension forks, keeping the steering working equally well (not too slow).
Enjoy!!

Yeaah, and the rear cog is free floating on the cassette too , :roll:
Like I said, tweaking. It actually needs a half link in the chain replacing 1 full link.
