Firefly Bicycles: Signature Downtube

Firefly Bicycles: Signature Downtube

Personally, I’d much rather have a builder’s signature on the downtube, rather than the top tube. And if this is a cross bike, it’d make for prime photo ops during #crossiefreestyle box jumps. Can’t wait to see how this new Firefly turns out!

Tyler Evans – Firefly E.P.U.C. Bicycle

I’ve long admired Tyler Evans’ photography. His work at Firefly is a large reason for their success. Social media, photography and a steady flow of both are a must in today’s internet age. That’s the main reason I post so much of their work, of course if their work was shit, I wouldn’t post it…

One of the reader-submitted site improvements are Guest Galleries and we’ll start off the frame builder’s guild with Tyler’s beautiful photos of their recently-complete E.P.U.C. bicycle. That’s Extra-Plus-Ultra-Commuter in case you were wondering!

Firefly Bicycles: Off Road Bike?

Firefly Bicycles: Off Road Bike?

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!

Justin’s Firefly Road

In all the time I’ve been posting about Firefly‘s work, I’ve never actually ridden one. It took me traveling to Australia to finally get the chance to ride a frame in my size and man, what a rocket. Let’s face it, Tyler and Jamie know what they’re doing. Their stainless and titanium bikes are awe-inspiring and that takes a special mechanic to do the build justice. Luckily, Justin knew where to go: Shifter Bikes.

Where do I begin with this bike? The Rotor Rings, affixed by the polished Hollowgram cranks? Or the entire group, which was polished by none other than Fyxomatosis? Then there’s the EE Cycle Works brakes with their made in America, tech aesthetic. As a complete piece of art, Justin’s Firefly is molten lava. See for yourself below!
