Waiting for ups to deliver my new bike

come on ups i want it now 😕
(its been in a warehouse 10 miles from my house all weekend 🙁 )

ditto, mines arrived though – the box is HUGE! 😯

stuck at work though so you’ll get your before i can get to mine 😳

edit – what are you waiting on?

Bird Aeris you

Enjoy!

Rose Uncle Jimbo

is it the BRIGHT one 😯

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!

Blue one and its still not here 🙁

Get some pics up of all these new bikes.

Am twiddling my thumbs waiting for my aeris, still got about 7 weeks to wait tho

disappointingly neat lawn and border.

Some stones missing by the rear brake.

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

Lovely bike though 🙂

Bloody hell, you’ve been busy!

V nice – how does it ride?

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.

deluded
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

How do these size up?

What height are you Alwit, and what size frame is that?

Looks lovely..

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?

Right i’m 5 10 its a medium and its so long in a good way 150 dropper is only out a couple of cm, weight wise i got it to 31 lbs

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!

Alwhit that looks lush mate!

And the reason i cant ride it yet – does anyone know if this washer is important? 😡

Coax needs sorting.

Coax needs sorting.

TV?

oh and UPS, they were wonderful 👿

Al, that looks sweet. How did you get up there without getting it dirty!! bet you took a rag up to clean it for the pics. will def give you a shout next time im home. did you heli tape it as well?

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!

Al, which route down from the top did you take ^^? Have you seen the jumps that someones been busy making? how the rangers missed them I’ll never know!

Bike looks well smart mate.

That washer will take you 5 mins to thread on, if it were mine, i’d sort it

That washer will take you 5 mins to thread on, if it were mine, i’d sort it

but im having a flounce as there’s quite a few scratches on it too 😳
i bought a new bike so it’d stop me from tinkering braking bits

Creedy had it Invisiframe properly cost a bit extra but looks well worth it , ekul if you know the area or do strava its the wardens are tossers route down

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.

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

No idea, will weigh the thing tonight im expecting around 33lb

ajh8 31 lbs with pedals but it climbs better than the norco sight
creedy still early but took it round kentmere Wednesday gisburn tomorrow
build quilty is great and it flys up and down hill just me stopping it 😉

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. 🙂

Alwhit…. what size is the Aeris and how tall are you?

Ditto for you v666ern

Renton it’s a medium I’m 5 10 honest 😯
