I recommend a frame that actually fits..

I'm 6'3" with a 31" inseam so I'm outside the bell curve and my back thanks me with a little more saddle bar drop, having said that I mean a little more i.e. like 2" vs. the 1"-1.5" that is recommended.

In my case the swift doesn't fit my a$$ in any way it's one of the most painful saddles out there. If I were you I'd buy the swallow if you do it right it'll support you junk while you do the silly saddle bar drop, the swift will press into you perineum making "things" more difficult..

In the end I'd buy a frame that fits, outfit it with a B17 or Swift for day to day, then when/if you hit the track a nice negative stem and whatever crap light saddle you can find for the limited time your there.
