Well, I had intended to post pictures of the Birdy for a long time. Until I recently got the stem extender I ordered 2 months ago, I didn't feel the bike was "finished". The bike shop was absolutely great - the delay lay with either Royal Mail or USPS. Without the stem extender, I could not raise the seat as high as I would like because the bars would have been far too low. So on longer rides, my knees felt tender along with my wrists and neck.

The Acor Aberhallo (made by Satori) has worked out great. Now I can raise the seat high enough, and the bars are still relatively higher than they were before. It seems well made and sturdy, and it was very easy to fit.


I'm still debating whether or not to move the handlebar bag back to the handlebars. I really like using it on the Klickfix extender on the seatpost, except the Klickfix mount stops the seatpost going in all the way - and that means that when folded the bike rests on the chainring instead of on the seatpost. On the other hand - with the stem extender, I'm not sure I want to put any extra weight on the bars...
