 >> '09 S.I.R. 9 Frames Are In!
>> Sir9s are in. Colors this year are Root Beer, a perennial favorite, and Solid Gold, which is really very cool, especially in sunlight.
In addition to new colors, the major change for the new batch is the addition of our new Bio-Centric EBB. The Bio-Centric is a leap forward in the world of eccentic bottom bracket designs. Using one 6mm wrench it is easily adjustable on the trail or at home.
Read one of the latest reviews of the Sir9 from our friends on the other side of the Atlantic at Bike Radar here.

>> NEW EBB NOW SHIPPING!
>> Our newly designed eccentric bottom brackets are in and shipping. Both the S.I.R. 9 and One 9 will come with a black version of the EBB. You will be able to fit these in any of the older S.I.R. 9s and One 9s as well. Aftermarket colors available now are black, red, blue and silver. Slight changes to the early versions include the machined cutouts being moved to the backside of the EBB halves to prevent crud build-up and a change in graphics. Installation instructions can be downloaded here.

"When Speedgoat Bicycles needed an unprecedented bike last year for its annual Pink Bike Raffle, Niner responded with a debut version of its Jet9 frame. The annual raffle, which raises money for the Breast Cancer Fund, features a radiant pink bike with one guideline: it should be nicer than most of the other bicycles in the world. As with all Niner bikes, attention to detail is everywhere, which - as a matter-of-fact - is a guideline of Niner�s MCR (Magic Carpet Ride) steel 29er. Speedgoat�s founder and president, Chris Currie, set down the reins driving his business long enough
to write this flattering review of the MCR:
"Of all the very impressive frames Niner offers, the M.C.R. is one of their absolute standout accomplishments. They've succeeded in making a classic frame here. And that's not easy."
Speedgoat Bicycles, Inc. is an Internet-centric bicycle retailer, which continually seeks to provide the best consumer information and most personalized shopping experience in the bicycle retail industry.

>> NINER DEALER PROFILE
918 XC
A cool new shop in Tulsa, Okla. We are their cornerstone brand and they are hitting the ground running. Expect great things from them. www.918xc.com
Here is what 918 CX has to say:
"We are excited to be a Niner dealer. Niner has been a great company to work with, we appreciate the marketing/advertising support they have offered dealers, and their bikes truly live up to the hype....It makes selling the bikes really easy. We look forward to a successful 2009 and beyond.
Our retail location was previously a Saddle & Boot repair store and we tried to keep some of that character around...we are in Oklahoma after all! We still have quite a few things we would like to add to the shop, but feel we are off to a really good start.
A quick description of who we are:
918XC is a bike shop, e-commerce site, and race team with 20 plus combined years of experience in the bike industry.
We are taking a little different approach by focusing on race-oriented 29er product. We believe the technology that trickles down to XC bikes, Trailbikes, and DH bikes makes its way from the race course.
918XC is fully committed to the 29er movement and is happy to support a company like Niner Bikes that shares this commitment.
Watch for www.918xc.com as we will be fully operational in the near future. We understand this is an expensive sport and we are committed to working with you to minimize your dollars per gram. Feel free to e-mail or call 918XC with questions outside of standard business hours so we can better assist you."
