They say to keep the cost down but the prices are the same as all the other past frames with the accessories, more moola...
The trans green and blue look trick though.

many riders don't use brakes, so we remove the brake mounts and sell them separately to those who want them
the dealer cost of the frames increased. if we still included the mounts with the frames, the cost of the frame to the consumer would have increased

Yea, but how much?

If I was buying a frame priced on the higher end of things, regardless of if I rode brakes or not, I would expect it to be full-featured - like my Fly Tierra.
This is like an in-app purchase.
But then again, I imagine it's hard out hee' for a company that doesn't fux wit completes.

brakeless riders can say "i don't want to buy stuff i don't need, or have to ask for it to be removed". we can't satisfy both parties, so we chose (to us) the simplest solution
Fly no longer provides the brake mounts/guides/tabs with their frames either
