Collect inspiration, things that inspire YOU.

Share these with Tyler.

The sky's the limit.

For starters get a glass of wine and click through these but bring new ideas to the table that speak to your bike not someone else's.

+1 take your time with it, collect ideas, inspiration and the right design for you will come.

And now, I will stop clicking on those Firefly links before I start getting ideas that I shouldnt

I'm kinda old school, and love the idea of a classic panel design, updated by anodizing on a titanium frame. Perhaps reverse (bare ti) lettering floating in a blue anodized panel, with complimentary rings top and bottom.

Mmmmmmm....

Paint it. Yes, I said it and the idea of painting Ti probably made a few of you gasp. Here's my very personal opinion... natural ti finished frames are so common among the current offering that you can't tell them apart at 5 feet. I look at most of them and my first reaction is BORING. Sure, natural ti the most durable finish but if you are being "practical" you would have bought a "bog standard" stock frame and not a Firefly. I like my bikes to make me smile when I look at them... so, go for it! Personalize it...Add color any way you want...Whatever gets you excited...

Perhaps something like this? (But not this:I don't want a twin for my bike!)

[tiretrax]

I love naked ti with colorful accents - seat clamp, headset, bb, saddle and bar tape. However, do what appeals to you. As an owner of several painted ti bikes and cringing over paint chips, I think anno is the way to go - provided it will be in a flavor you'll like in 10 years. So, I like the suggestions for panels, although the blue one above is enticing.

Winner! Just wow.

Am I missing something?
I see a rear brake cable hanger/stop but no brake post on the front or rear.
What does the cable hander do?

IMO, leave it! Looks great as is.

I'd love to see part of the downtube wrapped in their adventure team branding/pattern, in ano form. I'm assuming this would be difficult though.

Have been getting a lot of compliments lately on my classic bare titanium frame; but it is a Serotta Legend SE ST & F3 fork so it figures.
