Ti is lighter than steel but it's also a harder ride and you'll feel it.

This thing will either run a really low BB or have a seriously slack head angle with one big ass travel fork... or am I missing something?

 

Looks good though.

Lynskey.......

 

The last Ti Lynskey frame I saw about a month ago had a horizontal crack through the top tube and seat tube including the weld. I hope it was a one off.

Hey what about Columbus they make a 29'r specific set of tubes. Get them shipped and have a frame maker get it together for you here. you'd never find an Italian bike sporting the green of reynolds.

 

Always rode columbus SLX and MAX back in the day and alway had bikes that were hand made by some old legend that knew you from being a kid. Raleigh were the only mass produced bikes back then and even with my last buy (a giant) it just feels 'wrong' not getting a custom bike exactly for your measurements.

@ hellocolour.....you managed to get me dreaming of a custom steel SS done with Columbus tubing by a 80 year old gentleman who is half bind and deaf, only works 2 hours a day and then often falls asleep whilst on the job, yet stil manages to turn out works of art with exceptional paint work.

 

Time to sell one or both the kids.
