fabulous ride quality, fast and responsive yet `cruise liek` comfort soaking up all road chatter

Very nice, am strongly considering a Lynskey for my next bike. Can I ask is that the bright brushed or industrial mill finish?

JamesB

brushed

8) Thanks

Did you weigh the frame before building it?

JamesB

No I`m not a weight weenie;

I know it is about 1lb ish overall heavier than predeccessor carbon bike, but since I weigh 12 .5 st, and carry 2 water bottles + an Ortlieb saddlepack with tools, tubes, waterproof, mobile, wallet etc I`m not too concerned about a lb or so either way !

Fair enough, the weights are published on the website but I just wondered how accurate they are. Enjoy it

nice to see some 'propper' wheels. they will be responsibly for the smooth ride i bet.
