With so much bike gear being built in carbon, the ability to do custom one-off becomes almost impossible.

Repeating.

With Independent Fabrications rising from the ashes of Fat Chance (History in a nutsheel: sold, moved and then died a slow death), it seems as if history is repeating itself.

From the ashes of the yet-to-happen move from Boston to New Hampshire comes a new project from 3 of the Independent Fabrication cast- Presenting Fire Fly Bicycles.
Thusly, keeping the Boston frame building torch bright.
Good luck gentlemen.

Why buy a frame from a one-man shop still using traditional hand-building methods?

Because technology alone is a poor substitute for experience.
