Those are good prices, and I've been thinking of building up a 29er hardtail. But I just can't give that guy any more of my money. YMMV but my experience buying from Bike Bling was not a good one.

Nice price on the SIR and I'd love to buy one but...BB won't be getting any of my money. I'd rather go pay more somewhere else - or ask someone else to price match!

Thanks for getting me a great deal somewhere else Kerry!

Sounds like you need my Kona Unit! Slap a fork on it and you have an awesome hardtail! '13 model, too.

Well, if you want a Niner frame on sale, but not from BB, try here:

Here's a few at Jenson.

Some more at Competitive.

I hope more people speak with their wallets. Bike Bling's customer service and policies have only gotten worse. Such a shame as they have an awesome inventory.

Horray for price matching! That's how I buy when I buy new.

I got four emails from four different shops across the country in the last few days blowing out their Niner inventories. I wonder what is going on?

Outside Outfitters might be the better option, with no tax + free ship and similar prices as BB.
