That is the silva 1. It came in that flat white color and chrome.

I loved the frame but the brake mounts would come loose all of the time. Apparently the 2nd generation had better brake mounts. I honestly loved the subrosa. There isn't a lot of bikes that have melower head tube angles, and low bb's anymore. But the orphan was calling my name. Welded mounts on the fbm sold me.

After being without an FBM for a couple of years it was time to bring it back home.



Geometry is exactly what I wanted. Feels solid, and more than that FBM rules.


We got a slow session in at the trails right before the snow flew a couple of days later. It was better than nothing, and I can't complain because we had killer weather, and digging all summer.


Goodbye Subrosa. You were a great bike.

Now time for RAYS!
