[Closed] Bird Website Excitement?

This may not be true, if you count news at 4am tomorrow as "today".

Yep I'm counting that as today.

oh well.

Come on guys.... At least it wasn't a road bike! Now that would have been a massive disappointment.

So question for Ben @ bird.... Are there any plans on the horizon for a 29er platform at all? You can see by the response to this thread that there is interest and excitement 🙂

GX eagle bikes it is!

*Edit* curse my slow fingers!

Nailbiting wait (not by me I hasten to add) for bike they already make but with one extra gear. Wow.

Only if it's 29er DH 😛

To be fair, announcing that they're ready to ship the bikes with GX 12sp right now is good going. I can't see the stuff on CRC yet.

Well that was frankly disappointing.

Major news: Somebody else has released a new drive train that we all knew was coming anyway that we can sell you.

So much for my hopes of an Aeris 29er stablemate.............

You can see by the response to this thread that there is interest and excitement

Bird can do one now #enoughofthefakenews #prayfor11speed

Actually it wasnt Birds fault - this thread built it up to much #downwiththissortofthing

I'm still on unexpanded 10 speed! #MTFU 😉

I read that as Bird excrement

Never a truer word spoken in jest.

😉

is there room for one more on the damp park bench of disappointment?

"Something mildly interesting to a niche minority" would have covered it better 🙂

Good bikes though, I like the look of the 120 Aeris.

I keep hoping it's not real though. Maybe hackers put that eagle stuff up

will it be 13 speed?

Was it just the geagle?

Quote of the day from a very disgruntled facebook page 😆

Boooooooooooooooooooo

Just LOL.

I is disappoint.

If that's the biggest disappointment of the week I'll take it.

An exciting announcement about an extra gear trickling down to a mid-range groupset seems a little much though.

Just got home after a ride to realise Ive been pressing f5 all day over a spec change.....wow thats dull. Now, when does the whyte s150 come out again?

Good bikes though, I like the look of the 120 Aeris.

Me too.
