Maybe the Swift could prove popular as a bike messenger courier machine. There's an entire subculture around that profession. Messengers do tend to prize fast comfortable bikes. If I were marketing such a product and the bikes were selling well to this group I'd name a special messenger model the "Swift Alley Cat" after the illegal street races popular with them.

Anyway, thumbs up for a front block from me. Would this be easy to incorporate?
