Fly Diablo

A magic bike part is something that, once on your bike, lets you almost instantly do things that you’ve never been able to do before.

My Fly Diablo frame is a magical bike part - the day I built it up, I learnt tailwhips. I got the model with the 20.75in top tube but it also comes as a 20in. It has a really small rear end (13.75in) and at 5.8lbs, it’s super-light. Fly make these with a choice of regular or Euro bottom bracket, it has a nice and simple design with clean lines, a double-butted seat tube to save weight and the nicest dropouts I’ve ever seen.

The Diablo is billed as a trails frame, but I use it mostly for street and it’s stood up great (and I’m a big lad). It comes with gyro tabs and in a choice of colours - Olé! (that’s Spanish, that is).
