Bikes: Birdy Monocoque Standard Disc, Tern Verge D9, Tern Link D8, Dahon Curve

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
