Fly Pantera....kinda like your mom!


Hmmmm, where to begin. Back in the day my boy Zach got this ill frame called the Pantera from Fly Bikes, the Sergio Layos model. Zach rode that bike for a little then it broke on him (as did a lot of early Fly frames and parts) Then along came Mike Michaud and his Pantera. He's been riding a V1 for a while and it's dialed. This summer I destroyed my frame and was riding a piece of junk for a while until I could get a hold of something good. None of the new super light frames were appealing to me, and all the frames I liked didn't come with brake mounts so I waited. Then I got to looking at the Pantera and decided it was just what I was looking for. Soon after I had my new bike up and running, I took James Ballard to get his own Pantera in a little smaller size. He's been stoked on the bike too. Now my boy Stan just bought a Pantera all his own and he seems pretty stoked as well. Basically what I'm getting at is that for the amount of money you pay for a Pantera you are getting a hell of a bike. It's pretty light with a low overall height and it's strong to boot. I don't know why everyone doesn't just go online and buy this joint! But don't take my word for it, everyone's riding it!
