Man oh man. Now that’s a bike fit for some off-road action. But it does bring up a rather hot topic as of late: disk brakes on road bikes? Personally, when it’s on a bike like this, I love them but a racing road bike? Not so much. Firefly Bicycles, once again, building sexy and sometimes controversial bikes!
I’m loving the Ti anodizing going on at Firefly.
I can’t help myself but post photos like this. Did you notice the insignia on the helmet?
No, really, that hole looks nice but It needs a brake. Friday goodness provided by Firefly.
This really should go without saying but if there was an award for best-documented framebuilding company, it’d go to Firefly. Last year’s bicycles littered the front page of this site almost weekly and to keep it going in 2012, they just upped a few more frames and builds to their Gallery Page.
Stebs from Paper Fortress put together this great video featuring the work of Firefly Bicycles. The Boston-area has such a rad scene. This rules Stebs! Now everyone go repost this!
Man, have you been keeping tabs on Firefly’s Tumblr? I can’t go a week without posting a photo from it.
Firefly Bicycles just announced their newest model: the Ti MTB. These beasts have a great write-up on their site, so head over to read all about the PR&D that went into designing and fabricating them in the USA. I love articles like this. So good!
In the time they’ve been around, Firefly has created some rather controversial bicycles and this MonsterCross has got to take the cake. The guys describe this beast as:
“A blend of spankin’ new and N.O.S. vintage parts coupled with an aesthetic sensitivity to the era of the early 90’s XC mountain bikes crossed with practical fit and modern amenities.”
Yikes! Check out more at Mister Danger Pants.
Obligatory Firefly post of the week. One word: damn. What a great spin on a classic chevron.
It’s time for this week’s obligatory Firefly post.
Sometimes, it’s not the head tube that’s long, it’s the perspective. Seriously, I am killing myself every time Tyler posts up photos to the Firefly Blog. Framebuilders take note: get a photographer in your studio once a week…
What? Can you blame me. When your bikes look like a rendering, you’re doing something right! Firefly is annihilating it!
Another day, another Firefly post? Why not! Check out a high res of this sick Embrocation cross bike here!
Man, I don’t even wanna know what you’ve gotta do to get one of these. Firefly is making it hard for me to not post about them every day.
Man, if attention to detail is a disease, Jamie and Tyler have the Bubonic Plague.
Jamie from Firefly needed an off-road, speed machine for last monty’s D2R2 in the Boston area. What he came up with is one unique bird. But that’s Firefly‘s m.o. right? Clearance for bigger tires, a 42×28 mtb crankset and a 11-25 cassette make this road bike an ideal tool for tackling the 9,000’ of dirt elevation found in the 180k Deerfield Dirt-Road Randonnée. I think the size of the frame makes the proportions of the drivetrain work in this case. Personally, I’d rather have a compact front and a long cage derailleur in the back.
