Will do. One interesting aspect of the setup is that I've had a second BB shell welded below and behind the original which fixes 2 problems - firstly with 24" wheels the BB is too high to get my feet down at lights, and secondly it lengthens the effective top tube which on the Swift is about 2 inches too short for me to dial in my ideal position. With 20" wheels (or rather using the original BB) I have to run a 180mm stem to get the right position which doesn't make for great handling. With the lower BB I can mimic the position on my track/race bike perfectly (which is important to me as all my training is done on the Swift).
