Fly geo

Personally I loved the older fly stuff the pantera I had (3) in my time the Diablo three amigos, they newer stuff not so much but the 2016 stuff looks promising and if that geo frame fills the gap of 21+ TT and lower BB I'm gonna throw some cash at them.

I don't think Fly has done a 21+ in a few seasons.

Bring back 20.5!

First they replaced it with 20.625 that T1 popularized, then it was 20.75, now its like 21. Remember when everything was 20, 20.5, or 21!?

Very pretty.

I like that it seems to have larger sprocket clearance as well.

Was just thinking about fly yesterday. About 10 years ago fly was quite big here (Sweden). Now its been years since Ive seen people on fly products though...

He is so good that he probably doesnt have a serial number on his frame, just a cheat code...

Just found a brand new 3 amigos on eBay. It's 20.6 though.

Maybe I am being stupid, but did it say what the geometry is?!?!

Also, dropped chainstays are terrible. Makes the chain tensioner easy, but way too prone to grind damage IMHO...

G, I see what your saying about the dropped stays I think it was like that on my panteras I would grind into the welds maybe due to the low wishbone. And I saw on the merged it described it as "ultra responsive" so hopefully not a funky ass steep head tube and I could be wrong but are they using a MID BB now? looks bigger than their spanish system

Yeah from what I was told about 6 weeks ago they have switched over to mid and that picture confirms it. This probably signals the death of Spanish BB.

the frame looks really nice. even tho i normally like my frames super simple with no laser bridges or logo gimmicks.

happy about them ditching the spanish system tho. that size was absolutelly stupid imo. especially with 22mm cranks the bearings were much to small.

sorry for OT but I couldnt resist:
elevated chainstays are terrible too (at least in case of pedal grinds):
