[QUOTE=Donkey Hodie]looks like HPM lowered the price of their swift from 850.00 to 800.00 dollars on their website!

EDIT: I just talked to Abe at HPM and he said that is a typo error. He said they will fix it. If you download the pdf of their catalog, you should see the correct price of 850.00 dollars.>>

In case it is helpful:

HPM wants $660 for a steel frameset, made to order, with many choices of color. Begrudgingly.
They told me they prefer to sell the $850 bike.

Peter Reich (Design Mobility) prices an aluminum frame set at $390 off the shelf, add $100 for custom color.

Many other factors to consider, for sure!

Gee - I already had a guy try to buy mine today!
