Customer Testimonials by: Donald White
After moving back to Texas about 2 years ago I started
looking for something to take the chip seal roads better than my CADD 5
Cannondale R2000. I also wanted to go to a triple chain ring to compensate
for the additional years on the engine since I had ridden the Hill Country rides
last. I visited all the LBS close by and test rode several steel and carbon bikes.
I spent a lot of time in the bike forums only to get more
confused by the hour. I remembered looking at an Airborne at the LBS in
Marietta, GA several years ago and went online to find more info only to find
out that Airborne had ceased to exist basically overnight between August 31 and
September 1. I emailed Flyte and got the story on what had happened. Over the
next month I purchased an SRS 2 aluminum with carbon stays from Flyte.
Rode it, liked it but it was not what I really wanted. Called
Flyte and spoke with Jason and Dan and explained, they recommended I return the
SRS 2 and go with the Defiant. No hassles, no questions asked. I did so and got
the Defiant about 2 weeks later. Flyte helped me through every step from
measuring to deciding on what components to go with. I am absolutely thrilled
with the fit and the feel of the bike. I have been riding about 13 years and
this is the first time that I can say I feel like my bike is a natural extension
of my body.
Took it out for the first longer road ride yesterday and got
a good taste of how it feels on the chip seal roads and broken pavement. I
cannot believe the difference from my old aluminum frame. I can truly say this
bike will keep me coming back for more and more. Overall I could not be happier
with both the shopping experience and the bike itself.
The guys at Flyte were great to deal with and probably got
really tired of all the questions but remained calm and walked me through it. I
will be spreading the good word for them (and no I am not a shill, just a very
happy customer).
