FYI - As has been mentioned before, the new steel Swifts have an anticipated delivery of Spring '07.
Approx. weight w/ a Nexus 7 or 8 internal hub is 27 lbs. Pricing will range from $700-$1000 or more depending on how you outfit it.
If you want to email Peter to get on the contact list for when the new steel frames will be available, PM me for his new email address.
And no, I'm not a shill.
