Bird Zero AM 650B Loveliness

[Liam1611]

Well after my much loved Unicorn (Evil Sovereign) was stolen practically from right under my nose, despite being locked up, in front of CCTV camera's and close to a busy road I had to find a replacement. Thankfully I was insured for loss outside the home and with a bit of too-ing and fro-ing with the Insurers/Police and Bird MTB, I give you my Custom Build Bird Zero AM. Photo's taken by a good friend and Pro Photographer.

Enjoy.

That seems to have worked out for you.

Loving that! Always fancied a Sovereign but it's the one frame I've wanted that's eluded me so far. As a short-arse, 650b just doesn't do it for me - I've tried a few different builds but keep coming back to 26. That Bird looks awesome though

If only the Sovereign had a tapered headtube

Re:

Ace.

Wish someone did somethig similar in steel. All the similar ones (onza, morf, cotic 29er al) seem a lot shorter on reach.

Love this. Such a great company to deal with too
