Every bike that Firefly makes is custom.
As you browse our bikes, one of the first things you’ll notice is that we don’t have catchy model names. The reason is simple: every bike we make is custom. Maybe you want a road bike built for fast group rides, or a gravel bike that will be as capable for racing Unbound as for slowly getting lost on your local dirt roads, or a commuter with all the bells and whistles, or an all-day mountain bike to bikepack through Alaska, or something totally different.
In every case, your Firefly starts with how you want to ride. Tell us your riding goals, needs, and preferences, and we will work with you to design the perfect fit, frame geometry, tube selection, frame options, finish, and components to make your dream bike a reality.
I finally had the chance to take the bike out on a 40-mile gravel ride this past weekend, and I had to write to tell you how fantastic it was in every aspect.
The ride quality is outstanding: it dampens vibrations beautifully, so even after 40 miles on rough gravel I felt fresh rather than beat up. The steering is exactly what I was looking for, precise without being twitchy. And the balance is phenomenal; the bike is responsive to every lean and turn, almost like it knows where I want it to go before I do.
It’s also proven itself as a commuter bike. My paved trail to and from work has its fair share of cracks and bumps, and the same smooth, vibration-dampening ride that made the gravel outing so enjoyable makes the daily commute far more pleasant too. The headlight is brighter than any I’ve had on a bike before, and as we head into fall and winter, I know it’s going to make riding in the dark a lot safer.
Thank you for guiding me through the process of selecting the frame and component details. It made all the difference, and the result is an amazing, beautiful bike that I’m proud to ride.
Looking forward to many more miles on it.
