My new used Birdy monocoque standard with disc brakes. The previous owner upgraded some of the components. Replaced the 8 speed with a Sram 10 speed 11~32T, Sram Gx derailleur, Sram XO MTB rear trigger shifter. Has a carbon handlebar.

It took me over 2-3 months of searching to get it. I tried initially to buy locally but there are no local dealers carrying the bike. I tried used from Japan by using easybuyauction, White rabbit express, buyee, yahoo japan auction and several other sites but was informed that many of them will not ship a bike to the US and if they did, it costs half the price of the bike. Not to forget having to pay import duties

I ended up finding a used bike on ebay and it was local to me. Not anywhere close to the price I wanted but maybe that was unrealistic of me but an overall fair price.







Looks like a GT with the Black Jack tires
