Great idea for a thread.

I've been using the swift more and more (99%) of the time and my 700c bike is used to get mail and tow the kid in the tagalong (b/c it's the only bike with a 27mm seatpost).

I have replaced the crankset w/ 105 and put in an ultegra bb. Saved a whopping 100g from the stock config. I could remove the 39t ring, but I may want to use it for some sustained climbs. Switched back to the stock wheelset and derailleur. Huge 2lb savings over my internal hub setup. Bike weighs in at 23lbs/10.4kg. Hoping to break the magical 20lb barrier.

Things I've noticed, the steerer is a heavy steel thing. I need the entire length, but weenies should definitely cut to size. The long seat tube may be another weight issue.
