The Niner Bikes s.i.r. 9 frame is coming out this January and they are taking pre-orders for the frame.

As always, click on the pictures in this post to see them in larger scale.

The frames are available in four colors: Hot Tamale, Tang, Godzilla Green and Kermit Green. Kermit Green was on the s.i.r. 9 at Interbike and is only available in short supply so get your order in if you want it.

For those of you looking to by me a Christmas present… I like my s.i.r. in Kermit Green.

You also get a couple things for pre-ordering:

• Gauranteed availability of size and color
• free Niner shirt, hat and the YAWYD top cap

Apparently they’ve been having trouble keeping their One 9 frame in stock so it’s a good bet they’ll have the same trouble with the s.i.r. 9. If you’re interested in ordering send an email to info@ninerbikes.com to get the pre-order form.

Frame details:

• Custom machined EBB (std EBB 210 grams ours is 110 grams) with more chain adjustment meaning more flexibility with gearing and no need for a half link.
• CNC machined EBB means perfect BB shell alignment and ultra-clean threads right out of the box
• Titanium set screws
• Reynolds custom butted 853 size specific tubing
• Custom made Breezer style dropouts with a replaceable alloy derailleur hanger when running gears, or an alloy insert for a smooth look when running single speed.
• S bent chain and seat stays for improved heal and mud clearance. They also add vertical compliancy to the rear triangle for a smooth “soft tail” feel
• Headtube to Chris King headset specs and top and bottom faced for perfect bearing alignment.
• Disc brake only
• Stainless steel headbadge
• Beautifully welded by Reynolds 853 certified welders
• Ample downtube clearance for all suspension fork crowns
• Proven Niner geometry.
