Raxel - I'm trying to locate a source for Birdy accessories and parts in Asia that would be willing to sell to North American buyers and hopefully be able to communicate in English. Birdy owners are at a serious disadvantage here support-wise.

Nice bike, by the way. Wonderful attention to detail and aesthetics.

PS - Just noticed in your other thread that you're in South Korea. Are most of the products sold through the Japanese Birdy distributor also available in SK? Maybe dealers there would be a little more cooperative than in Japan. Haven't had much luck there yet.

Thank you for your consideration.

StuAff - Not sure if you're referring to the Birdy's suspension in general or the air setup on this one, but the Birdy suspension works very well. I'm 5'8"/145 and get no pogo-ing at all out of my '05 Silver. The bike feels rigid and there is no noodle effect with the handle post. So far it's the most comfortable bike I've owned, other than a recumbent. The air shocks are interesting. Have not seen them before. So far, tires have not been a problem on this side of the pond.
