After contacting Sam @ Singular Cycles I got in touch with a Dorking based bike shop, Head for the Hills as Sam said they had Swift Demo bikes..
Think if i was going to build one / get one i would use a one of the Shimano 8 speed hub gears like the Alfine which is now rated for offroad use and is disc compatible. Using a hub gear like the alfine, a single chainwheel should give the eqivilent ratios to a middle chainring on a triple and a rear cassette...
plus all out of the of muck and rubbish.
Phone Head for the Hills, spoke to a chap called Roger - seemed pretty helpful and have booked a test ride on their large size swift....
