New Lynskey Frame

The replacement frame for the cracked down tube on the Lynskey arrived and was quickly built up.  I had to pay for the new frame (at a discount however) and was able to upgrade to the new helix tube (twisted tube).  I am still getting used to the new ride/geometry and feel like I am still learning to ride the bike so more updates once I get a few more miles on it...currently sitting at around 200 miles...I sent the seat post back since I need a setback seat post.  That will change how the bike handles so it is difficult to really put an accurate review together.  My first reactions are that it is a weird combo of body lean and handlebar movement for steering.  It is different than the prior Lynskey I rode and also quite different than the El Mariachi I rode between old frame and new frame replacement....

more to come....

It's Been a While....Broken Lynskey

Somehow the days/weeks/months have flown by lately and the blog has been neglected for a long while....

I broke my titanium Lynskey frame a while ago and have been in the process of getting the new frame built up...in the interim, some pictures below of the down-tube that somehow cracked!  and what a WEIRD place for it to fail.
