The Radavist

I love everything about these two detail photos from the latest Busyman-equipped Ti Firefly. Head over to the Firefly blog to see more exceptional framebuilding craft and photography.

I feel like today’s Beautiful Bicycles are sporting some of the most outrageous finishing jobs. First that Death Spray track bike and now this Firefly light-touring bike. Keep in mind, this is only one angle and you can’t even see all the insane detailing (masking hell!). In order to do that, you’ll have to go to the Firefly Flickr!

… and someone’s got a new Firefly. That thing better be getting muddy ASAP!

Cherokee red Eames, meet Firefly Ti. Just as timeless and won’t suck to sit on all day. That’s modernism though, right?

Hot hot hot damn and I’m not talking about the weather here in Texas. The new Firefly FNL-224 is molten hot with its ti, carbon tubes and with that build kit. Why am I even writing anything here? Go see more at the Firefly Flickr!

Bottles, bottles, bottles. I have to resist the urge to buy each pair I come across but I might make an exception with these Team Awesome Purist bottles… Thanks to Firefly for the awesome photo!

I think this is a Beautiful Bicycle we can all agree on. It’s time for the weekly dose of Firefly!

It’s great to see two Boston brands representing American production and fabrication: New Balance and Firefly Bicycles. Although, it’s a little weird to go through that whole speech and end with “1 out of every 4 pairs of shoes we sell in the USA is made or assembled here”.

This is too good to not share. Keep it fun, Firefly. So where’s the Instagram shot of this one?

Correction, it was a Vine!

As much as I love details and side elevations of bikes, sometimes getting right up, front and center is equally as compelling. Especially when you’re staring down a Firefly.

What better way to round out the day than with some Ti anodizing from Firefly? If this were a cross bike, I’d say it’d need a set of the Purple PAUL touring cantis. By the way, another batch is going up on Friday…

I love the H+Son Archetype rim and leave it to Firefly to make this finish option really pop. Wow.

For Firefly’s latest build, they had Boston photographer Heather McGrath come in for some detail photos. I’ve been following this bike’s process over on their Tumblr and the end product is quite nice. Check out more detail photos from the Firefly titanium and carbon road at their Flickr and see the full build right here.

This is absolutely over the top in every way but I love it, especially that fork. So much radness coming from Firefly these days.

Someone made a comment about colored components on bikes being a fad. Well, it’s the longest running fad in the cycling industry and as exhibited here in the latest from Firefly, it’s all about a touch of color. Although I would love to see a completely anodized titanium frame from these guys.

I think it’s safe to say that this machine is made to take a big beating and deliver an even bigger one. There are too many drool-worthy photos rolling into the Firefly Tumblr these days.

The week isn’t complete without something from Firefly. The High Voltage Fade looks so good! See more at the Firefly Flickr.
