That’s right, Allygn Diamond rack. So far so good - it has a thoughtful design and tidy details.

Thanks Steve! That's my local builder (Fern Cycle) so excited to see it on your Firefly!

We need more images of the Firefly please!

Lucky you! Fern/Allygn makes beautiful functional things. Flo was great over email. Their much delayed MUD fork is one that I am patiently waiting for.

This Firefly is built around RH Umtanum 650x55 tires, mainly. Enve Adventure fork - it makes a lot of sense but rides a bit stiff when not loaded up. The B&M micro taillight is wired internally to the IQ-X headlight and a SON hub. I recently swapped to Paul Klampers to see what they are all about. These are paired with a 10-44 XPLR drivetrain with Easton/Wolftooth cranks. Whiskey Spano hbars in 48. Burgtec flat pedals lately. Firefly did a wonderful job on the fabrication.

Warbird

Been a while since I posted my trusty Warbird here. It really does not get enough outdoor miles.

That headlight is new to me. What's the power source? Is it rechargeable?

It is a dynamo headlight from Busch & Muller. Power for the headlight and taillight is supplied by a SONdelux front hub.

Seeing so many rad looking bikes makes me feel like I need to get around to photographing some of my own.

Do you ever feel like your current build is more exciting than the previous? I get that feeling for every bike I add the stable. I left my one gravel rig in Asheville so I have something to ride when there. I went into a slight panic upon arriving home, realizing I have nothing to ride dirt with. Commensurate with N+1, the void is filled.
