A group of us headed over to Afan forest in Wales last weekend for some great riding. I had a couple of friends along who've not ridden much before but were loving it as you can see from the smile on Jonesy's face above. I hear a lot of negative comments on these sort of 'trail centres' and while it's not quite the same as getting out into the wilderness, they certainly pack a lot of fantastic trails into a fairly small area. Nice to be able to really let it go without worrying too much about what's coming around the next corner.

Frame production is now underway and we're still looking good for December delivery. Finally went with the same colours as we had on the protos as everyone seemed to like them. Swifts will be in the coppery red colour, while the SS is in blue. They will have metal headbadges, and sterling silver versions will be available at an additional charge. All frames will come with a seat clamp and fully prepped - seat tube reamed, bottom bracket and head tube faced and chased. Get your pre-order in now to ensure you can get the size and type you're after!
