Een Niner Air 9 Carbon of zijn er alternatieven?
Moderators:JJ, Beheerders
Er lijken zo langzamerhand wel wat alternatieven voor de Niner te verschijnen. Het makkelijke switchen tussen SS en geared kan alleen de Niner tot nu toe. Ook de vrijheid in brackets spreekt me aan. Eén van m'n cranks is bv met Octalink!
Nu ja, kopen kan nog niet, tot die tijd behelp ik me met m'n Simplon 26".

Van de Niner nieuwsbrief:
Before we go over the delivery schedule we have to take time out to “pull the curtain back†on how most carbon frames are produced:
Very few bicycle companies own their own carbon manufacturing facility. The majority, like us, contract with carbon fiber manufactures that specialize in making carbon frames. Though we do share a facility with other manufacturers, our designs and carbon layups are proprietary as are the other choices we make during our oversight of the manufacturing process.
Our Air 9 Carbon frames and carbon forks are produced in a facility that makes high end carbon fiber products for several other well known bicycle companies. We selected this facility for Ninerʼs carbon production because we can be confident in the quality and accuracy when manufacturing Ninerʼs proprietary designs.
Unfortunately, the fellow bike companies that work with this facility are much larger than Niner Bikes. Because of their greater volume, we believe they have received priority in the production schedule to the detriment of our original delivery plans. We have spent the last months doing everything we can to get the schedule switched back to one that favors our customers - including a long trip overseas to try to convince them in person - to no avail. Because the quality of our product is paramount, we will continue to work with this facility – as we believe they are currently the best when it comes to carbon fiber production. We would prefer to
get your frames and forks to you as fast as possible, but we will always choose quality over speed.
The revised schedule for Air 9 Carbon frames has the first delivery of size medium and large frames and first round of tapered steerer carbon forks the first week of July. The remaining sizes small and XL will follow – delivery on these frames is undetermined at this time (we should have delivery dates soon). We will release this information as it becomes available.

Is die nog te koop? :P
This Air9 isn't made from CF, but a well known, if rare, material called Unobtainium.
I really feel for them. As far as I can tell, they are good guys, and they make some of the nicest big wheeled bikes on the market. I wonder who the manufacturer they speak of is. My guess is Specialized.
