After discovering that my other Sword was the first-gen (with long top tube), I grabbed this bike off pinkbike. When I first saw a picture of the Sword, with its straight, steep fork, I didn't like it. But it grew on me like crazy and I've learned a bit about the guys at FBM and I'm really glad to have this bike to ride.

Current Stage Info:
New Dura Ace hubs and the wider rims give a bit of a different ride. Smoothest bike I own, it just flows.

Thanks man! You should check out my other Sword restoration: https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/cerakote...
It was originally going to be built like the orange one, but it turned out to be a different size so I took it in a different direction
