  • My forum namesake :)

    A SuperFly Styler Deluxe made from the finest Reynolds 853.

    Not much info out there now on these as the German company dropped off the radar a few years ago, I did wonder if another big bike brand had something to do with that due to the name "Superfly".
    Anyways..
    Dirt Company was the parent for SuperFly which was imported into the UK by Riding High UK along with the standard Sanko tubed Styler which had a brake brace and less fancy lugs and gussets, also the "FixStern" which was a horizontal dropout version.

    Of the one size fits all design school, originally intended as a pimp 4x racer chassis designed around 100mm for fast handling and airbourne antics. Also doubles up with 150mm fork as a DH mountain slayer.

    Due to the 29.4 seat tube I quickly got a shim to run 27.2 posts as the are easy to find and replace.
    Frame comes with a 29.4mm Techno seat post. Element 27.2 seat post, Post shim, seat post clamp.
    Fitted is an Element Mercury headset, with stainless crown race, comes with spare bearings.

  • The frame has a lightweight helitape covering. I peeled off the chain stay to inspect and show expected chain slap to paint.
    The ISCG tabs are 04 or OLD spec so the smaller diameter.

  • Brake mount and BB shell have been faced off.
    Expected paint wear in normal places, there is a tiny dent on lug end.

    Main frame is 853, never found out what chain and seat stays are. Most likely 4130.

    So all this radness for £150 into Stratford or St Pancras, or £140 if meet up at Ashford International.
    Don't do paypal, not posting.
    Expires on Saturday 3rd August, can deliver on 4th but should be packing house ready to move.
    Any questions ask away.
