Close to ordering an Air9 after cracking the frame on my Dirty Harry (which has identical geometry) and wondered if there were any real world experiences of Niners on here?

Bearing in mind I'm in Singapore, so they're more common here than UK probably, but worth a quick post to check.

Thanks!

Which Air9 did you have?

Nice looking bike.

There's a few but not many here, the feedback has been generally very good. I'm looking at the carbon or the RDO. Tragically I don't white and I don't like the grey/green, but the step up for the better carbon and lay up and preference for color is a bit eye watering, given my hand is being forced due to breaking the frame on my Dirty Harry, which has identical geometry to the Air9, but I can't get another one ..... Plus my nearest bikeshop is a Niner outlet.

I took a RIP 9 out on Sunday which convinced me I like my hardtail, but it was a riot to ride in the rough technical stuff..... I would break my neck eventually though!

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated.

I've got a Niner RLT, which I have raced all season as a singlespeed cyclocross machine, it's been spot on, the handling is lovely. Definitely want a few more Niners in my fleet.
Have you had similar experiences to Neenaw reference finish?

I had a good look round one on Sunday as well and was impressed.
