Just had an email through from Niner re. the upcoming Air 9 carbon... hubba hubba... the detailing on this thing is superb, love the integrated cabling and carbon curves 🙂

USD$1899, I bet that doesn't translate to £1170 or anywhere near when we get a UK price... what's the bet it'll be £1899? 🙁

soooooo nice! would be almost a shame to use it! almost tempting to give up gears and suspension!

I want a Niner.

The back end is so light it levitates off the ground FFS!

Im pretty sure it will be the £1800+ you think, but if its $1899 after taxes and shipping it will be more like £1500 to get it shipped to the UK anyway.....

I was looking at this the other day. That frame and fork combo is beautiful ... especially in dead simple SS guise. I wonder what price they could be imported for?

It's the first 29er that actually makes me want to own one despite not yet having found one I actually enjoy riding.

Now the black and white one has spoilt it for me coz it looks like a Trek 🙁

although it could just be the angle its taken from and i wouldn't say no to owning one 😉

I love it. Don't seem to be doing frames in all the same colours as the fork. At the moment anyway. Certainly needs to be the rigid fork and does look so ace in SS guise. So a rigid SS carbon air and an off the shelf Fisher Superfly please. The Superfly looks almost as good IMHO. But only almost.
