Not a clue.. the main thing I don't like is the front fender, that was a big thing with ironhorse too.. their front fenders on their bikes weren't all that great looking

I have heard of the swift but don't know much about it or it history.
Definitely not a BigDog.

He can keep the bike but I'll take the garage.

The battery is still housed under the seat but without a horseshoe oil reservoir in front of it. Zoom in on one of the front angle views and you can even see the connection posts. Many of these 2" frames functioned as the oil reservoirs within the frame.

Amazing to me that he feels the name of the bike is enough to describe it. No specs or even called out components.

Those are some serious fat frame tubes--interesting neck brace....nice looking for a rigid. I like it. I had a Triumph back I the day that had the oil in the frame--worked out fine.

You gotta assume there's a reason it's not done anymore though!

Battery is right under the seat -- you can see the wires gpoing to it -- its doesn't look enclosed -- looks like an odyssey battery just mounted there.

More expensive to make? Oil in frame should work nicely as a oilcooler...
