All,
Thanks for the warm reception for the MK bike and the compliments.

james,
When I shoot more pix, I'll do some on the sleevepost details. You won't have any trouble adapting the sleevepost design to your Swift. There's a cross-member in the sleeve that must fit into a notch in the top of the Swift steerer tube. For the cross-member, you could try to press-fit a bolt, or better IMO, JB Weld a bolt in place (or use a seatpost clamp bolt). The stem post is steel on my steel Swift, so using Al tubing will save some weight, but may flex a bit more. If you sell your current Swift, you simply remount the OEM stempost.

The Dura-Ace RD is, in part, my way of complimenting Yan on the best 20" frame on the market. Rafael is right, and yes, an upgraded DT FS could eat a significant piece (most?) of BF's lunch. A Ti frame with an air shock, hmmmm good.

Bruce,
More pix on the way. I'll see if the 7 year old girls next door are willing to get near the bike. They think bikes are icky and that they will somehow sweat (very icky) by proximity effect.
