2016 Xootr Swift black 9-speed build
SOLD! Thank you.
I bought this Xootr Swift as a single-speed frame (hence the black color) then installed a 9-speed drivetrain. I love this bike but no longer have occasion to ride it--so if you buy it, please treat it well!
Sram X5 shifter, X7 derailleur. Brakes are newer Tektro v-brakes. This is the large model with a longer seat post. I'm 6'2" and it fit me with another ~2 inches of usable seat post to spare.
Asking $400. I'll throw on a black Brooks B17 narrow in excellent condition for an extra $40. (I can't find examples of sold Swifts on eBay, so tell me if that's not reasonable.)
I'm located in Chicago. Would very much prefer a local sale, but I'm open to shipping.

After riding it today for first time in a while, I notice that the rims will eventually need replacing from worn brake tracks. Plus I really need to make room.
So new price: $275. What a deal for a Swift!

Interested in buying this bike
Hi there,
Is this bike still for sale? I live in Canada so would need to have it shipped. If it is, and shipping is ok with you, can you give me an approximate weight so I can get a ball park figure on shipping? I am very interested so please let me know if it's still available and you'd be willing to ship.
Thanks so much!
Chris

Hi- sorry I didn't get a notification about your post! Yes, it's still for sale. It weighs approximately 26 pounds, so with packing materials and everything I'd guess it'd be around 32 pounds.

Detailed pictures. Note there's an area on the seat stay near the dropout which has been a little gouged by chain rubbing.

I'm wondering if you'd mind communicating via email as I have a couple of further questions. (Having some trouble accessing this Bike Forum page).
