The Thomson seat post actually does just slide right into the Swift post. It does require slotting the Swift post and machining it down to fit the closest sized seat post clamp. I don't remember the magic number for the Thomson OD because it was on the bottom portion of the seat post that got cut off for weight savings. Just measure the ID of the Swift post and find a seatpost with the closest OD.

The stem riser is the standard Joey J-stem. There is an adapter that bolts onto the steerer tube and the riser clamps onto the adapter. I believe Jur has the same set-up. Once again, I don't know the cut length of the steerer as I just marked it and cut it to match the adapter.

As Jur stated, adapting a road fork would not work so that is why I went with the MTB straight leg style fork. Just cut the legs to the correct length. No dedicated tooling required. Personally I think the look works because of the "mechanical" look of the Swift bike.

The fork I have, although not super light weight, is definitely lighter than the Swift fork.

I machined the brake caliper mount so I don't have another. I was machining that adapter on the fly so unfortunately I don't have a drawing or dimensions to share.

The Kojaks roll really nice and the ride isn't too bad but are a little flat prone. I little Stan's in the tubes solved that problem. The only tubes I have found that have a removable Presta core (so you can inject the Stan's) just happened to the the Schwalbes. If anybody knows of any others I would like to know.
