[Closed] New bike day - Bird Zero TR!

Set the alarm a little earlier to cut the grass and sort the cables out 🙂

already sorted the cables and the grass..............well...........its raining tomorrow

My Bird Zero AM arrived yesterday, looks amazing.Sunday until I can ride it!

I have one of these in the same colour arriving soon too 🙂

Is that a small or medium? And is that a 100mm fork?

It's a medium with a 130mm fork

It's a medium with a 130mm fork

I think you need to put some air in it then! 😉

hahahah yep that has also been done. I was too excited and took photos before i'd finished putting it together and setting it all up.

Now that's what I call a proper medium, looks longer than some brands XL frames.

Would be nice to see a 29er version of this, hint hint Ben from Bird.

I think that's longer in reach and ETT than the vast majority of brands XL hardtail bikes.

It's still longer in reach, in medium, than the newest Stanton Switchback 'long', which is the longest bike they do 😯

I was surprised how long it looks next to my cannondale

muttley, top tyre tip - buy a DHR2 dual and put it on the back instead of the 3C version. Keep the 3C either for winter or as front tyre. The harder compound lasts way longer, rolls faster and squirms less when you're hitting turns hard.

I've taken to running DHR2 3C front with Shorty 3C as the winter/mud option and DHR2 dual rear with Minion SS dual as the summer/dry option.

And yes, they're long! I think road bikes are so short for maximum slipstreaming ability - they'd definitely handle better if they were longer.

Looks fab. And the right Bird colour. Happy Trails...

That's monstrously long - I have Ti MkII 18 long and it feels like a long bike (50mm stem / 785mm bars) and loads longer than my stolen Mk I.
