True bike porn

Consistent. High Quality. Attention to Details. Innovative. Artistry.

Just let the end result speak for itself.

Excellent photography.

What I like about the Gallery page is the thumbnails and the ability to scan through quickly and click on the ones that interest me, give me ideas on my next build.

I love looking at their site as well. It is cool to see the evolution of the all roads bike during the past five years as brake standards change.

I find it difficult to get excited about the bare Ti aesthetic. And when combined with an Enve stem, it's one of the worst sights in bike porn.

Why do people spec them? Is it just cos they're American and expensive?

This one's not bad though.

That's why I hold my tongue when I have nothing good to say about a bike that I see in the gallery because I recognize that it's personal preference and someone else 's pride and joy.

I think the enve stems aesthetically work well on the large 44mm head tubes.

Bare Ti is great because it tranlastes simplicity and fuctionality so perfectly.

I concur-if I didn’t already burn all my “but honey, it’s the last forever bike” I’d be on the list. If the list was 3-4 months I’d be sleeping on the couch-

I don't get into bike aesthetics all that much. Firefly always gives me a reason to contradict that. The make nice looking stuff.

agree 100% on enve stems, way too chunky with no flow. this stem bike is set up lovely though.

swoon. love this one.


i think if you know your bike fit for sure, and you're going ALL IN with the big $$$ for these things new, it's a missed opportunity to not get the custom stem. enve stems are terrible.

yes, double sexy!

unrelated bike porn: because some like blondes and some brunettes and some like redheads, etc etc.
