Average Price
The Birdy monocoque frameset costs approximately $1,000 US without parts, so even low-end models are pricey. Equipment set up differs greatly from country to country. In the US, entry-level bikes (non-monocoque) cost approximately $1,500 and were equipped with low-mid range Shimano Alivio components.
In the UK, the entry-level model (C2W, similar to the Europe model elsewhere) costs £999 (as of 2010) to permit purchase under cycle-to-work schemes. High-end titanium models (rare outside of Japan and Australia) can cost over US$4,500. Japan is the biggest market for these bikes and offers a wide array of cost-effective choices. In Japan, the bike is distributed as the Bianchi Fretta (OEM) and BD-1.
