It's still pretty stock--just some high-pressure tires and a 32 cassette--but here's my new Swift. I bought it in NYC a week and a half ago and flew with it to San Antonio the next day. Here it's taking a rest along the San Antonio Mission Trail, where it impressed a group of guys riding full-size bikes.

It's back home in NYC now, having internal hub gearing installed, after which it'll give me something like 20–120 gear-inches. Then it'll get a B17 (and maybe some matching grips if I'm feeling flush) and go into service on the greenway, towing my boys to preschool and getting me to work.
