    I’d have been and picked it up 😆

    Last (and only) time UPS had a bike for me they phoned to say it was in the warehouse 20 miles away to arrange a delivery for the next day and I told them not to bother I’d fetch it that evening… I have no patience!

    ^ Agreed, nice plum slate too, but the cheap fence will be a point of ridicule in a couple of years.

    Lovely bike though 🙂

    Nice bike! Did you carry it up there, it’s still spotless?

    I regularly get the piss taken out of me as my bike always stays clean no matter how hard I try to get it dirty.

    to early tell really but it climbed well and descended so stable it begged to go faster and the build quality looks so much better than my norco was

    I visited the Bird website to have a look at specs and price – impressive. That’s a lot of bounce for the ounce.

    What does it weigh in at?

    Yes, I regret not getting a 150mm dropper. I should have tried to calculate all the measurements beforehand.

    Those are the best pics of the blue I’ve seen so far. Looks great!

    does anyone know if this washer is important?

    Any slight movement in the linkage? Hold bike stead and move saddle up & down. If not, nah, crack on!

    Great looking bikes guys, I am so tempted.

    Alwit does that 31 lbs include the pedals ? Bird suggested that an Aeris 1 came to 29 – 30 lbs and apart from the wheels and shock yours seems to be about that spec.

    V666ern what did the Jimbo weigh in at please ? Is it only available to those with satanic tendencies ?

    Goodness, you can hardly see the invisiframe 😉 . How’s it riding mate? i would hope ekul nows the area, as he’s my brother. Name backwards.

    creedy still early but took it round kentmere Wednesday gisburn tomorrow

    Thanks for that Alwit, it makes sense as pedals usually weigh nearly a pound each. I try not to be a weight weenie, honest but some swine put a load of big hills in the way. 🙂
