So what sort of bike is a Singular? The name might suggest something a little different, out of the ordinary, and that'd be true.

The first bike out of the stable, the Swift, has some attributes which are decidedly modern; disc brakes only, 29" wheels, (eccentric bottom bracket for the singlespeeders if you want it), a rangy top tube, and a nice amount of standover. But then you have decent length chainstays for better climbing (forget all this shorter is better malarkey), relaxed angles of 72/72 head and seat, a lot of fork rake to maintain quick handling with the big wheels, and a fair amount of bb drop. So you have a bit of old, a bit of new - taking the best of both worlds for an all-day, every-day bike that's joy to be on.

The overall style is also a little old-world I guess, which is how I like it. Nice air-force blue paint with cream panel and deep red lettering.

I've got two Swifts in west London you can take out for a spin, and there is also one at Cyclissimo Sports & Equipment in Ontario, Canada. We will also soon have a couple up in Drumlanrig, Scotland to try out on the lovely trails up there. So get in touch and give one a try.

More info about future models coming soon!
