I know I'm not the only one who really doesn't feel that Firefly. The seat, the seatpost clamp, the wheels, the crank.... that weird chrome bit on the TT that looks like it's supposed to be a cable guide. Wheels look silly on the frame, paint looks funny with the white seat and tape.
Gosh. I really don't like that bike, sorry.
A good example of how $$$$ doesn't necessarily = pretty.

Some manufactures are starting to shape/form Ti tubes. My cross bike has "snake" stays (tapered and curved). The down tube is ovalized to contact the BB and the head tube. Even the top tube has a flat underside, presumably to make it more comfortable to carry on your shoulder.

shaped titanium
Litespeed has been doing that for years, I have a 20yr old litespeed with 6/4 shaped pipes made out of flat sheets of titanium.
Now, they use hydro formed pipes.
