Curious about the Ti fork.

How does it compare (stiffness/weight) to say, an Enve 2.0 fork.

Ti forks of old had a reputation of being flexible and heavy. I don't think Ti tubing as changed at all in the last 10-15 years.

But, for a travel bike I can understand the appeal of ti vs carbon.

Hey Zap,

The fork is heavier than an ENVE 2.0. I would imagine it to be more flexy as well, although I haven't ridden it. It will probably do well in this (travel) application as far as durability goes... Long term, I can't say. Talking to Black Sheep might be your best info source on data for this particular fork.

Very, very nice. I'll join the voices saying that FF is on my to-be-ordered short list.

For some reason, that annodizing reminded me of one of my old favorite paint jobs on a Mecacycle Turbo, but a much nicer, understated way, and, obviously, on a much nice frameset.

Brake Bridge

Another great looking bike. Are you guys going to do a Firefly logo brake bridge anytime soon?

How do you make the bikes float in the air?

Looks great! A little girl in my town rides a Firefly. Her dad has a bike shop. Tyler can probably guess where I live.

I think you guess should do a softtail 29er singlespeed with S&S couplers...

Firefly

and the guys who own it are way beyond normal get it guys. Check out the newest Vsalon 29er picks. Story to follow. Full disclosure is enlightening and lends credence that there's greatness still in this world today.
