Segmented fork, front rack mounts, S&S couplers. This Firefly is looking amazing.

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!

Firefly Bicycles: I Like Where This is Going
Don’t you? Disk-tabbed and ready to go. Firefly is always a crowd pleaser.

Holy Headtube Firefly
After Tyler’s Guest Gallery, I thought I’d had my fill of Firefly for the week. But alas…

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!
Check out more by clicking the photo above or here to open in a new tab. Full specs are listed below.

Firefly Bicycles: Flat Bar Commuter
Ok, so that “touring bike” I posted earlier is a flat bar commuter / city bike. Does that make it any less bad-ass? Nope. Firefly is putting in work these days.

Firefly Bicycles: Custom Tourer
It’s safe to say that this would be a great partner to have while on tour, no? I can’t wait to see more of this one. That rack is looking crazy. Firefly‘s always coming up with the jams.

Firefly Bicycles: Gettin’ Fancy
But… but… It’s so damn 70’s!
These two photos from the Firefly blog are wild. They’re really going for their Ti anodizing.

Firefly Announces New Bidon Line
Can’t afford a slick Ti or stainless rig but love Firefly? Pick up one of these Purist bidons. I can’t find a link on their site, but my guess is that they’ll shop up on products page. You’ve got to appreciate the humor in the post tagline!

Firefly Bicycles: EECycle Works
Everyone loves the eeCycle Works brakes. They’re made in the USA and deliver incredible stopping power. The first time I got to see a pair on a bike in person, it was when I was in Melbourne. Justin’s Firefly had them and I couldn’t get over how rad they were and they better be for that pricepoint!

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!
