OH CRAP!!! Sorry to hear it. A description would be helpful, since someone might spot it riding around.
On a happy note, mine arrived today from Colorado. It's not stolen as it came with all the original paperwork. WOW! Work ground to a halt as everyone stopped to admire it and ride it. I really like it!
It's a silver one with the abbreviatedshifter and Kenda Kwest 100 psi tires. Looks to be a 132.5mm rear fork spacing. Year of make supposedly 2005.... anybody know for certain? It has a Selle Ti saddle, Cane Creek bar ends, and Power Grips.
I want to experiment with riding it as a fixed gear, with front brake. Per James_Swifts advice, I just sent a note to Peter Reich asking about buying a fixed gear wheel for it.
Heading out in a minute for lunch, it'll be the maiden voyage for me on a Swift. And of course, pics to come in a day or three.
