I found out this week that I'm the lucky winner of the Firefly frame that the guys donated this year for Tim Johnson's Ride on Washington, which is a fundraiser to support Bikes Belong. When Kevin emailed me, I quite literally had to read it three or four times before it sunk it. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the week daydreaming about what kind of bike to build. I think I've come up with a killer idea - stay tuned.

You waited a week to tell us this news? That is unacceptable.

We must crowd source all bike building decisions ;)


just kidding. Congrats! Pick a design that is in your heart. You'll ride it for many years and love it.

Apologies for not posting this immediately. Once I picked my jaw off the floor, work duties took over. Stuff like this never happens to me, but I think I might just buy a lottery ticket and ride this streak right into retirement.

I'm hoping to parlay a work trip to visit the new space in Boston, get another fit, and drop off multiple sixers in thanks.

I'm going to keep my idea for this one quiet for now. I've never done one of those teaser builds before - this is a good opportunity.
