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 my flex a bit more. If you sell your current Swift, you simply remount the OEM stempost.
