So from my weight calculations the tubing alone is about 1.8kg. The welds will add some so I expect 2kg or more.

The dropouts/track ends are quite pointy.

The fork geometry is the same as the stock Xootr fork but I ordered a nice Ti fork, plus Ti seatpost and Ti stem/riser.
the Ti swift was done well. i am very impressed with the welds. :-)

the frame reminds me of the montague folding bikes. :-)
