Swift Silver Bullet

i've taken delivery of a new creation from peter and i wanted to share my new toy with the fold. here are some of the notables:

flip flop hub 14t fixed / 16t freewheel
velocity razor rims
truvativ team carbon handlebar
thomson stem
avid grips
avid brake lever
avid ultimate v brake
wtb rocket v stealth saddle
crankbrothers eggbeater
silver with white swift folder logo

the bike is mainly a commuter around downtown SF and the Soma. i got the freewheel in case i didn't like fixed. after a week of riding, i'm liking it a whole bunch (it will probably never be flipped). i understand why others love fixie so much now especially in the flats. you can feel the power and control instantly when the cleats engage. it does take some time getting used to it though. it will take more time until it's second nature and committed to muscle memory but i don't mind. for pictures click the link in my signature.
