Spotted on BikeRadar (why do they get everything first!), some new designs from Sky (chick designed!) for Swobo. Check the link out
here. I'm really digging the Baxter, an 8spd IGH bike with swept back bars and matching chain guard. It has some more modernish touches such as a carbon fork and discs (love 'em or hate 'em) but it is still pretty classed up with a minimalist paint job that is more nuanced than nuisance. Not shown with fenders but the description says "Clearance for fat tyres and mudguards."
Nice.
Looking at the pic, the off the peg bike looks good. Though, if it were up to me, I'd throw on a Brooks, change the seatpost to a silver VO, ditto for the stem, and maybe toss on some
dapper dan ergo grips.

If you read Swobo's own "How to Avoid the Bummer Life", you would have seen this bike announced weeks ago!
BikeRadar IS good at getting word out first, though.
No matter what, it's a great-looking bike. I'd make the changes you suggested (I hadn't seen those Dapper Dan grips yet).
A Swobo with swept-back bars - love it! I would have seriously considered buying this when I was shopping around.
Classic lines, kind of like my mid-90's hybrid. Even better with the IGH though.
Fantastic--almost the perfect spec for an all-weather commuter bike. Only thing it's missing is a full chain case.
