Whilst it's not steel I'm seriously impressed with my Trek 920, capable on and off road, sram 2x10 - never fitted the racks just strapped on my Ortlieb/Wildcat bags and go. Will easily accommodate 29er 2.1's.

Mac the swift wasnt a proper drop bar job was it though it was possible and I did with mine run it with shallow drops but the proper drop bar mtb was the gryphon iirc

I had to have the swift though I first saw it at sswc2007 and fell in love it was one sam had done for Jacquie Phelan and she let me have a go on it and that was it I ordered it straight away

Got a text from Sam, apparently the new Swift is on hold due to the tooling costs. 🙁

Dedicated drop bar was the Gryphon. I've still got one gathering dust in the garage running wood chippers.
