The Fly Sierra frame is one of Fly’s most popular frames. It has some bigger geometry like the chain stay and top tube, but this frame has a shorter stand over. This will provide a good balance between flowy and technical riding. Sierra parts have been Sergio Layos’ signature line for years, and they kill it each year.
