After complete and through research and analysis, my bike-o-matic selector machine says:

Oh damn, failed! You have to make your own decision.

Air 9. Not because of the color, but because it's an Air 9. :thumbsup:

Air 9 not only because it's an Air 9, because it's Kermit Green!

EMD = Aluminum

MCR or SIR = Steel.

Bingo.

Otherwise, I agree with everyone else...Air9 because its a better frame for the same price.

Doh! I obviously made an error there. Would still vote for the steel 853 MCR frame. Aluminum hard tails can make great bikes, just prefer steel or even Ti.
