Just taken delivery of my first new mountain bike in 8 years (12 years since I last bought a brand new FS bike).
My new AM9:

Still need to take my E4s of my old bike, fit my Deathgrips and potentially swap the saddle.
The guys at Bird have been fantastic to deal with, even when I decided on a different shock during the build process..
Very nice indeed, that’s a nice garden, the bikes not bad either
looks lush! Really, phwoar!
Looks great and I like the spec you've gone for too.
Thanks guys, it's replacing a Whyte T-129, which has been a great bike but I can really feel gets out of its depth on the rocky stuff the lakes has on offer.
I've wanted a raw aluminium bike for a while now, say that's a box ticked too ✅
Nice! Enjoy!
That’s very nice!
I’m eagerly awaiting a raw Aether 7 with a similar spec 😁
Can I ask what pedals they are?
They are unites Instinct pedal
First new bike after so long? You're in for quite a ride I'd say, you'll see it's fundamentally a different kind of vehicle.
Anyway great choice and build, only thing I'd change would be the fork
Very nice.
Agree that the guys at Bird are great to deal with.
Very nice, just built up a Aether 9A for the wife (also to replace a t-129) and an AM9 would be high on my list for a replacement bike for me. Love the raw finish, looks so much more purposeful than paint! Can only echo comments regarding Bird's customer service, absolutely top notch, almost makes handing over £££ seem enjoyable.
Very nice indeed, that’s a nice garden
Just needs less borders and a small pump track..
ive been hovering over the aether 7 for ages.
nice bike.
