[Closed] PSA Bird Aeris 145 frame sale from £577. 50!

I really hope its to do with them bring a new model and clearing the stock and not too much to do with whats happening in the world right now! I don't own a bird but have demoed one before and they seem like really good guys!

I think If I needed a new bike it would be hard to look past an AM9.

I'm guessing it's because of the new Aether 7 model that's been released

I heard there was a new wheel size coming

Nothing untoward, We're lucky to have strong cash and stock positions and very low overheads. But we're realistic that 2020 is basically a bust (We do 75% of our annual trade in the 5 months March > July), so while we're on a limited factory staff for now for isolation reasons we'd like to clear out some of the older lines in order to make way for newness 🙂

Great frame at a great price!

Good to know!

I demoed one a few years back and really enjoyed it. Its a steal at that price!

Hopefully you'll have a massively busy period when all this is over, as a result of folks like me who will be compiling wishlists and itching to get out.

Thanks ben & gnusmas- just when I'm scaling back in case work goes pop you're tempting me big time.

Is there an aether9 coming?

The 145 has been replaced by the AM160 so it’s been on offer a while - but this recent drop makes it really cheap! Glad I got in and sold my 145 a month or so ago for £675 (frame / shock / axle / seat clamp / headset though - the price above is frame only).

Got an Aether 7 to replace it - ridden it twice so far and it’s awesome. Really playful and climbs pretty well too.

Thankfully my Mk1 Aeris Cane Creek IL coil wont fit the newer frame 🙂

thank. this has cost me a lot of money so far...:P
first FS ever....
so far grabbed a frame, wheelset, RS super deluxe rct... mostly as i found deals on it all... plan to not rush.. and spend sensibly...
:S

Nice work - the Aeris 145 is a nice bike and it’ll just take all you can throw at it and more. Plus Bird are great to deal with - hence me buying another one.

I am really tempted even though I have a flaremax .....
Donor bike could be a 27.5 hard tail...

Can I make 140 pikes into 170mm with just change in airshaft?

Pikes only go up to 160mm I think. That length would be fine to use with the 145 either in normal 145mm travel or 160mm LT travel

Alan, ehere did you find a shock deal?

im hoping the light compression, medium rebound is a suitable tune.. from what i coudl find out it sounds like it should be?
PS i did low ball the seller and it was accepted.. try your luck.. as far as i could tel lthats a good price.. 230x65 seems to be limited size

Good deal if you can source a cheap shock, geometry not gonna date as bad as some brands' outgoing models.

Anyone after a set of boosty hoops for these, I have some Stans Baron S1 wheels I'm flogging.

boosty hoops

Best description ever!

would have discussed the baron's with you .. ended up taking a gamble on sun ringle duroc 35's from crc... seem too cheap.... spank/hunt were my go to but at this price it was silly not to at least see

Best description ever!

As a toddler one of my kids used to call spaghetti hoops 'hoopty beans'.

I've got the Sun Ringles on my Zero 29 and they've been good for almost a year, still true and only had to clean the freehub although will probably do the bearings soon once I've worked out what kind they are.

Love my Aeris 145. Such a capable bike.

Thats a steal at that price!

@mrmoofo: feel tempted if it means you have a large 2nd gen flaremax for sale as I think I know someone who will buy it (cough cough)!

Had my 145 just over a year now, I love it.

I keep playing with the bird bike builder, amazing value, would prefer a 29er but suspect I'd be massively overbiked on the AM9...
