I was just about to give up on my Swift; my multimodal commute turned into a 6 mile r/t, and I found the lack of a downtube to be quite the thief of power transfer/efficiency. I ended up getting a Bianchi San Jose strictly for commuting purposes, which rendered the Swift useless to me. But something in the back of my head always told me to keep it around, just in case. Well, lately I've been having some health issues that compelled me to take another look at my neglected Swift sitting in the corner. I figure I could benefit from the more upright riding position and the 8 gears. Right now I am thinking about getting the CrossRack for my Swift to make it more practical for commuting. I already have a simple Banjo Brothers roll-top pannier that I use with my Bianchi. Does anyone want to talk me out of it? Does anyone have a used set they want to sell to me?
