    Saw this on the BFA list. Sincerely hope Birdy are back up & trading soon. 🙁

    http://www.birdy.com.au/news.htm02 Jan 2006:

    At 4am on 2 Jan, a massive fire completely destroyed the warehouse facilities of Birdy Imports in Botany, Sydney. [see photo]
    http://www.birdy.com.au/images/home/Fire1.jpg

    Over 100 fire fighters were on-site but could do little to put out the fire. They could only ensure that it did not spread. The entire 9300 sq metre building and all its contents were destroyed. The outsourced warehouse contained the stock of several different companies in addition to Birdy.

    All stock associated with Birdy in Australia was destroyed although there are a few items available from our offices (at a different location).

    We are working closely with our manufacturer to either (a) bring our next planned shipment forward as much as possible or (b) to obtain an emergency shipment of stock.

    However the fire will obviously impact the supply of Birdys and parts in Australia for a short period until things settle down.

    Please bear with us during this time. If you are after a particular model, please contact us as we will have a good idea which retailers may have models in stock.

    Xenophobia is pretty wide spread in the "upright" cycling community.

    I think everyone's got that troll (why do they allow internet access in
    psychiatric institutions?). Ignore. I think he is blowing a fuse very
    soon (called himself cycle gal the other day, very confused and now
    getting down to the level of faecal matter).

    And 'boxtard' is ...????

    Are you implying that homemade bikes are somehow inferior?

    I sense an element of cultural cringe...

    I hear the brazing can be somewhat hit and miss :-)
