The swift is very nice, still.
I agree with that when you have a stand available. Out in the middle of the country on a dirt road it makes more sense to use gravity as your friend. Let the wheel fall into the drop outs and have both hands available to help guide it. Instead of having to use one hand to help support the bike. (sorry for getting off topic.)
