    I love lynskey frames, incredible craftsmanship and they ride really nicely, will be an awesome build! Would love a custom one with geometry like my 456 and iscg tabs, would be the perfect hardtail!
  • One of my most favourite frames (in 26er guise), love the twisted downtube!

    Yeah but it's still an on one at the end of the day!! A lynskey is just something extra special, the craftsman ship is just unreal!

    This looks like it's going to be a stunning build, loving the purple CK stuff!!

    Thanks, can't wait to get all built, hubs are off to get built up on Monday, I was lucky to get hold of the purple parts, they sold out pretty quickly. I know what you mean about the frames, they are a work of art!

    Is that the 456Ti frame as made by Lynskey or another frame?

    Nice build, I guess this isn't a budget build!
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    I think the originals were, the new one is made by van nicholas I think.

    Had a message from my friend yesterday, the frame has arrived, what a great 30th birthday present!! Hubs are up at moonglu being built as we speak! Fingers crossed I will get it built up on Monday/Tuesday, am a little bit excited to see the frame/seatpost, I ordered it before Christmas so it's been a long wait, hope its worth it!
  • Cannot wait to see this built up, those purple King hubs are stunning!!!
