Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame Flybike doesn’t sell directly to consumers, as far as I’m aware.

Generally speaking that ~$1000 is getting you a tougher bike with more up to date geometry than the equivalent LightCarbon at $780. Some might also argue the 1001/1002 is better looking than most of its competitors in the “catalog frame” market. It’s up to you to decide if that makes the higher price worth it.

I think I’m happier with my 1002 than I would have been with a LCFS947 for example.

Re: FM1001 / FM1156 - 135mm frame As for the optional parts, I would skip the basic 1.5” headset Carbonda offers and get one from FSA or similar. I had some issues with my Carbonda headset which others have also described: lets water in, and develops creaky play in a short amount of time.

The rear axle they offer works fine, and isn’t terribly heavy or anything so I don’t see the point in getting one from a different company.
