The title pretty much states my first world dilemma.
The geo is almost identical. The Swift geo shows a STA of 72 but the effective STA is about 73 degrees, so yes the geo is pretty darn close.
Reasons for the Swift:
- A lot less expensive
- Suspension corrected although there aren't any forks out there that allow for a 29×3.0 with only 100mm travel. The Wren fork comes close though. If I go with 2.6 tires, the sky is the limit. Should I care and just embrace fully rigid with plus tires?
- Eccentric BB (or a reason against)?
Reasons for the Sunliner:
- Possibly a better tubeset
- A bit more stack
- No Eccentric BB
- Anything else?
Thanks.

I’d go with the swift. Save money and put it toward a trip.
I love my Stargazer, everything about it is just right IMO. I would expect the Sunliner to be equally as well thought out. Saying that, if cash talks, go Swift, also a good one and right now comes with a free king headset from the distributor.
another wrinkle – Sklar is going to open preorders for next year on his PJB. another cool one that is in the same realm.
