I've got a Bird AM Zero on order
http://www.bird.bike/product/zero-am-gx/?v=79cba1185463#configuration
I've added a Reverb and swapped the brakes for sram's guide RS. Sram 1x11spd GX Build comes in at £1700.

However I stumbled across this http://www.stif.co.uk/Morf. XT 1x11spd build is 2k.
The looks are a bit dividing admittedly but I happen to like it and the minimal graphics appeal to me - reminds me of mint sauce.

Which would you guys go for :?:

P.S Bird - you need a new website designer, your new one still sucks...

    I'd save the £300 and have the bird....

    I think I prefer the Morf.
    I love horses, best of all the animals. I love horses, they're my friends.

  • I cant decide whether its just the better looking website and the minimalist graphics that are selling the Morf to me. I like Bird, but I've never have been totally sold on the frame decals, bit too fussy IMHO. Does anyone know if you can remove them or are they under the clear-coat?

    Those all seem like excellent reasons for choosing a bike.
