I love everything about these two detail photos from the latest Busyman-equipped Ti Firefly. Head over to the Firefly blog to see more exceptional framebuilding craft and photography.

Firefly Bicycles: Circles Upon Circles
I feel like today’s Beautiful Bicycles are sporting some of the most outrageous finishing jobs. First that Death Spray track bike and now this Firefly light-touring bike. Keep in mind, this is only one angle and you can’t even see all the insane detailing (masking hell!). In order to do that, you’ll have to go to the Firefly Flickr!

… and someone’s got a new Firefly. That thing better be getting muddy ASAP!

Firefly Bicycles: Modernism
Cherokee red Eames, meet Firefly Ti. Just as timeless and won’t suck to sit on all day. That’s modernism though, right?

Firefly Bicycles: FNL-224
Hot hot hot damn and I’m not talking about the weather here in Texas. The new Firefly FNL-224 is molten hot with its ti, carbon tubes and with that build kit. Why am I even writing anything here? Go see more at the Firefly Flickr!

Team Awesome 22oz Purist Bottles
Bottles, bottles, bottles. I have to resist the urge to buy each pair I come across but I might make an exception with these Team Awesome Purist bottles… Thanks to Firefly for the awesome photo!

Firefly Bicycles: Blue Wonder
I think this is a Beautiful Bicycle we can all agree on. It’s time for the weekly dose of Firefly!

Firefly and New Balance
It’s great to see two Boston brands representing American production and fabrication: New Balance and Firefly Bicycles. Although, it’s a little weird to go through that whole speech and end with “1 out of every 4 pairs of shoes we sell in the USA is made or assembled here”.

Firefly Bicycles: Gotta Get That ‘Gram
This is too good to not share. Keep it fun, Firefly. So where’s the Instagram shot of this one?
Correction, it was a Vine!

Well Hello There Firefly
As much as I love details and side elevations of bikes, sometimes getting right up, front and center is equally as compelling. Especially when you’re staring down a Firefly.

Firefly Bicycles: Purple Ti Ano
What better way to round out the day than with some Ti anodizing from Firefly? If this were a cross bike, I’d say it’d need a set of the Purple PAUL touring cantis. By the way, another batch is going up on Friday…

Leave It to Firefly to Make the Archetype Look Even Better
I love the H+Son Archetype rim and leave it to Firefly to make this finish option really pop. Wow.

Firefly Detail Photos by Heather McGrath
Photo by Heather McGrath
For Firefly’s latest build, they had Boston photographer Heather McGrath come in for some detail photos. I’ve been following this bike’s process over on their Tumblr and the end product is quite nice. Check out more detail photos from the Firefly titanium and carbon road at their Flickr and see the full build right here.

Gordon’s Firefly Cross
“A little bit of racing and a little bit of light touring” seems to be what a lot of people want from their cross bikes. That’s exactly what Gordon told Firefly when he put down his deposit. This cross bike has fender and rack mounts for weekend getaways and mini-v’s for road riding. Come cross season, he’ll pop on some 32c cross tires and get her nice and muddy. It’s always a pleasure to photograph a Firefly, especially when the owner is such a stand up guy. Denver has such rad bikes and such great people. It’s been a hell of a trip. Oh and, thanks for the hangover man!

Firefly Bicycles: 650B Rando
This is absolutely over the top in every way but I love it, especially that fork. So much radness coming from Firefly these days.

Firefly Bicycles: Touch of Blue
Someone made a comment about colored components on bikes being a fad. Well, it’s the longest running fad in the cycling industry and as exhibited here in the latest from Firefly, it’s all about a touch of color. Although I would love to see a completely anodized titanium frame from these guys.

Firefly Bicycles: This Machine Was Made for Thrashing
I think it’s safe to say that this machine is made to take a big beating and deliver an even bigger one. There are too many drool-worthy photos rolling into the Firefly Tumblr these days.

Firefly Bicycles: High Voltage Fade
The week isn’t complete without something from Firefly. The High Voltage Fade looks so good! See more at the Firefly Flickr.
