K-mart is from Mulgrave, sooo…?
If patriotism requires me to like that clusterfuck, then I intend to burn the nearest flag.
Don’t understand what’s wrong with you guys… come on, a Baum over a Firefly anyday.
And yes HMC, I would love to see you posuer down Swanston St on that tourer thing!
I wonder if that’s why people bought Holden Camiras…?
Not a Cats fan.

- Build Ti Mixte Frame (Cool!)
- decide to use rohloff (Cool!)
- Do the above in the wrong order, so you’re stuck with a Ti Mixte frame with a non replaceable hanger that you’re then forced to use an aftermarket eccentric BB in to get chain tension. also then decide to mount your gripshifter not where your grips are because phallic Ti headset spacer limbs are the new big thing. (what?)
- profit? ($$$$)
Pretty sure that’s a Nuvici n360. Which is still sort of cool, but also makes the bike the weirdest mishmash of parts ever.
alfine di2 would have been better.
and disc specific rims
and fat slicks not file treads
and non idiot bars
and
and
TC the very first batches of frames i was all like, i really want one of these and i mean bad. clean lines, good geo, nice welds, quality all round.
these build are pretty much “because i can builds” and therefore my money has been allocated elsewhere.
^ okay, but you can still have a Firefly frame with a sensible parts list, can’t you?
i stand corrected.
just cos you can, dosnt mean you should.
knowing the guys i’m sure there were very specific reasons for every decision made.
they don’t tend to fuck about without the client being 100% on board.
having said that it looks weird and is not my cup of tea.
some of the latest road bikes with splatter anodised graphics looks rad as hell.
Yep. It looks like it was designed by committee.
client is clearly an idiot, but they’ll take anyone’s money
and they take A LOT!
For gods sake that thing sucks
Thank you, moving on.
