Everywhere you look, there’s a new category of bikes. Touring bikes, light-touring bikes, city bikes, commuters, cruisers, and on and on. It can be, and often is, bewildering.

The reason for all of those names is simple: there are many ways to use a bike. But it doesn’t have to be confusing.

We’re open to building almost anything…

…and as a result, many of the bikes we make don’t fit easily into any one category. Tell us how you want to use the bike, or about other bikes that inspire you, and we’ll discuss the best way to create your ideal bike. The options are endless, but helping you choose from those options to arrive at the perfect combination for you is our specialty.

In a word, the Firefly is a revelation: the handling is nimble and responsive (no more toe overlaps!), I’m able to rail around corners with confidence, and getting (and staying!) on the drops is no longer an ordeal.  I’ve come to expect Ti to be a super light material, yet I’m still surprised at how remarkably it climbs.  As for the usual suspects describing Ti’s ride quality: stiff, responsive, and comfy — yep, all true.  Taken together, these are stellar qualities that I would have never expected to find on a single bike.

And then there’s the process of getting the Firefly itself.  First, there’s the sheer craftsmanship involved with building the frame: the welds are stunning and the tube surfacing with anodized bits are awesome to see in person.  The custom tech with the dropouts and CS yoke has sparked many conversations with my fellow bike nerds in the office.  Most notable, the time you kindly spent going over frame numbers has instilled an appreciation for bike geometry and fit: that finding those numbers can be done methodically without needing a pro fitter or fancy jig.
