Just received my Swoop today, it fits perfectly. Set it straight to park on the flip chip, 30% rear sag, 25% front, dropped the bars down a spacer, swapped grips for DMR Deathgrips and put some DMR V8 Mgs on. It feels great going up and down the road. I decided I will be taking the GX mech and shifter straight off and replacing with XT as don't like the ergonomics and lack of pull or multi changes with the GX. I'm undecided about the MT5 brakes, I have some nearly new Zee's on my old bike I'm tempted to swap on, the front MT5 is good but the rear really spongy so needs a bleed from word go, just thinking new removed from the bike i should get a good price for them.
I have ordered the swoop 200 10.0 which should arrive next week to replace my Scott gambler. I found very little info about this bike online, but the spec for the money is fantastic! So if anyone wants any specific questions answering about the bike or pictures etc let me know !
Just about to order a Swoop, can someone please tell me how it turns up. Im guessing in a box, lol, but interested in what or how much assembly is required. Cheers

In a very big box, mine only needed bars fitting and tyres deflating slightly. Wheels were on and seat was fully extended! However, although it was pretty much ready to ride, I did set everything up as I wanted it and checked the torque of all the bolts. Enjoy!
I'm really keen to hear about what you think of it, also if the box will fit in my golf MK4 haha, unfortunately I had my bike stolen so I'm looking at getting one of these and get it delivered to work but need to make sure it will fit in the car !!!
