Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster...
I've ordered a Bird 145 frame and wanted to check which invisiframe kit is correct - I *think* it's the 2017 model as linked below, but does anyone know for sure? I emailed Bird a few days ago but no reply yet (apart from their Covid response times auto-reply) and am wanting to order the invisiframe kit ASAP.
Frame ordered: M/L in Lime Green: https://www.bird.bike/product/aeris-145-frameset/#configuration
Invisiframe kit link: https://www.invisiframe.co.uk/aeris-one-45-2017.html
Yeah that's the right one.
It's certainly worthwhile, Bird are great, but the paint does love to chip and scratch.
Also, if you're on FB join the Bird Cycleworks Owners page for quick answers to questions.
Excellent, thank you!
it's great fun to fit... :S
i recommend a scalpel too, there's a few bits that will fit better if you slit them, especially the the chainstay bridge part.. mine is now a dirt trap as it didn't sit porperly.. :S
and yer its pretty easy to pick up chips otherwise
I fitted this kit to my AM160 a few weeks ago. Ben @ Bird warned that there were some changes on the stays that I'd need to modify for, but I guess these apply only to the 160. It wasn't hard to modify satisfactorily and as above it's hard to fit where a fold is required without enough face both sides to create an easy bond, but you get there in the end. Tubes and bigger areas I found fairly straightforward.
I've just done the same to my newly purchased 145...I didn't buy the kit though. I hot a 3mx100mm roll of heli tape from Ebay and a roll of 3m 2228 tape and cut them to shape myself. I've covered all the contact areas possible. Easy to and all for the cost of £30.
