At last I get to ride my Swift! It has been a long time (about four months) since I was out on my Swift. Bad weather, illness and life in general have been getting in the way. Today I managed a ten mile ride in the cold sunshine. My legs are still in shock!

I have fitted some Ergon Tour handgrips which provide a good variety of positions and a Topeak Q/R rear mudguard which keeps the wet at bay and looks more "sporty" than conventional guards. Its Q/R clamp fits around the Swift's 34mm seatpost with ease. I intend to get many more miles in over the next few weeks.
