Interbike 2011: Fly Bikes
When I walked into the Fly Bikes booth, my brain melted. They had so much newness I didn’t know where to start. Maybe it was Kevin Porter walking around all bare foot hippy like that was confusing me… I don’t know. Let’s jump into this and see what’s new!
Trueno? This is new… no? Yes, check out the specs!
Kevin Kalkoff’s new Lago frame and bars!
Stefan Lantschner’s Montana frame and bars!
Urbano? New!
Kevin Porter’s Tierra frame and bars. Loving that blue.
Fly’s new complete bike like looks absolutely stunning. WOW. That’s all I can say…
Fly’s new seat works in mysterious ways… Ryan Chadwick and Ben Hucke trying to figure it out. Real into this design.
Grippage.
Stoppage.
Stems!
New rims and tires!
Brakes!? You bet. They updated their previous brakes with these fancy and real clean looking ones. Well, the old ones were too, but these are updated and new. Amazing.
Whoever thought braking technology was done for was wrong. Fly have added a barrel adjuster to their bridge cable. Basically, it’s like 2 spokes with threads. You just twist that piece to adjust your brakes. Micro adjustments can be huge and that’s what this does.
That’s the Fly Bikes booth! There’s soo much new so try and digest it all. If you have any questions, leave it in the comments and I’ll try and track down an answer…
How does Fly make everything look damn good?

I just got a massive headache. Always loved fly, and still do ! Cant wait for some of these pieces to be available to the public.
Lemme guess…nothing about Suelo at all?!
(Fly’s flatland brand)
Any word on the cassette hub?
Do these still have built-in chain tensioners? That was my favorite thing about Fly frames.
i havent seen every brand new things but if theres something im dam sure its that te most innovating things are from fly like every year

Trueno: never mind looking at the spec’s it says Sergio Layos on the chain stays. Same goes for Chris Finnigans frame the Urbano.
