Very nice job, love the swift on this build. Ride in good health, she's a beaut! Oh, one interesting aside about my Super; it has turned out to be a fantastic bike for smooth gravel and paths with new rims laced onto the SR hubs and shod with 28mm Parigi-Roubaix tires. Handles like a dream and really absorbs the rumble, but I limit how much of that I do lest I break something Campy SR and hard to find. I love that these bikes, although race-bred in their day, could handle tires well into the 30s. Try yours off road with some bigger tires, you might be surprised how good it goes!
