Nah I think your in a good range, the bike geo coming out at the moment is really spot on. Like you said numbers on paper don't always translate to a good fit, my last few full sussers can attest to that.

My bike looks more like a BMX every day! This looks pretty amazing.
Shorter ETT on the Bird? My BMX has similar ETT to the XL Titan I rode.
Also reminds me I still need to grab one of those mudguards off you, I have managed to just avoid riding lately so haven't needed it that much

It's an ETT of 630mm which is 18mm longer than the hardtail. I figured that would be about right for me as the hardtail felt best when seated with a 50mm stem but I preferred the handling of a 40mm stem.My bike looks more like a BMX every day! This looks pretty amazing.

The more I ride it the more I like it. Taking a bit of getting used to with the full squish over the hardtail but probably the biggest difference is the speed it picks up, my skills need to get much better for this bike.

Really like them, need to work on the air pressure after putting the 140mm air shaft in.

Nice. Which internals have they got? I’m really liking the Durolux R2C2 on my Prime, feels really supportive and is nice and smooth over the chatter
Stickers on the fork easy to remove? I recall reading somewhere they are under a clear coat?
Bike looks awesome.

It's the Auron EQ and I'm really liking it. Not feeling a huge difference between the EQ and my previous R2C2 maybe a bit better small bump. I've had good experiences with the Suntours overall.

Picked up SRAM GX AXS, don't like the clutch as much as Shimano but the rest is better.

Mine are under the clear coat, but nothing to stop you stickering over the top of them. Only one I don’t like is the one on the archStickers on the fork easy to remove? I recall reading somewhere they are under a clear coat?

Mines an EQ R2C2, and it’s really good. Small bump is pretty good and I haven’t used all of the travel yet!
For the price, they really fly under the radar

Absolutely best value to performance fork you can buy. I like the EQ for the slightly better small bump but the old air spring was great for adjustability.

Beautiful bike!
I was chasing one of these a few months ago but Bird told me they were no longer shipping to Australia. How did you get around that, or did you but before they stopped shipping here?
