If you're 5'6", you'll probably want a pretty short top tube length (I'd say under 20"). Most Fly frames are larger than that, although the Mosca appears to be available in a 19.4" version.

PM means Private Message.

no, if your still growing just get a 20 to 20.5 toptube. if you wanna be like everyone else, get a pantera, but if you wanna be a little differant get a 3 amigos(i dont know if they're any good though)

It doesn't matter... as Beerman just said/notified... Fly frames usually end up snapped..

That's what happens when you ride a poorly welded bike made of Chinese gaspipe.

Fly bikes have only a 2 Year warranty.


If your getting a Fly frame, get a 3 Amigos, its basically all the plus' of all the other Fly frames into one pretty light frame.
