After the demise of my trail pistol it was new bike time. Nothing was in stock so I got a Bird Aether 9C.
Looks pretty good on paper, I suppose we will see. I just need a dropper post and lever, but as usual stock is an issue. On the plus side I did find some one up bars, but had to be touched inappropriatly in the wallet by Summit.
It will ship mid week, so perhaps end of next week I'll be able to ride it.
It needs a 37mm ID seat post clamp, if anyone has any leads on a silver one let me know.
