    New Lynskey Titanium Toy!!

    I just realized I forgot a "S" in Lynskey in my thread title, my bad!
    Thought I should share this one:
    A Lynskey Performance Custom Titanium, size large, Ouzo Pro carbon fork both painted with a custom digital urban camo scheme!
    The frame is their "level 3" tubing, 3/2.5 titanium with multishaped tubes....I just think the tubes look cool!
    This is my first endeavor into Ti, I have a custom SS from Lynskey coming in about a month!, and I cannot wait to put some miles on her!:bang:
    Built up with the full DA kit, WCS front end, Thomson Masterpiece post, Ksyrium SL's. I have a new R700 crank on it, but think the DA will go back on.
    The pix don't really do it justice but here are a few!
    Enjoy!

    Thanks Steven!
    I am sure we can figure something out on that snazzy white and grey saddle. It actually has a little carbon bling underneath!
    Have fun at Solvang:bang:
    How was the new tread at fully last night?
    We had a killer nite loop at the Luge, then my fancy HID went out half way down the Luge, bummer!

    Cheezus! That's a nice bike. Really digging the digital camo paint. Very different but cool.

    very very very nice. I usually like the raw titanium look, but that paint scheme is great.

    give some more hints about the SS on the way?

    Once a Litespeed always a Litespeed. Nice to see the family back in business. If I got a Ti bike, they'd be first on my list.

    Thanks fellas!
    I have not been able to put any real miles on her yet, Sunday am is the maiden voyage!
    As far as the "other" Ti rig- my precious!- it is at paint this week. It is the same tubing as the road rig but with appropriate changes to suit my, ahem, needs. They asked me what I wanted.....climbs like a goat, descends like a hammer and must weigh less than 2.5 lbs...Dave and Tim Lynskey said no worries:bang:

    It will have a metallic black fleck paint job with pink ghost flames/skulls and a sacred heart tattoo with my wifes and daughters intitials inside. Oh, and the new sexy sliding dropouts on the back, I have only seen these at Interbike, can't wait to see those!
    I am hoping to see it in a few weeks.
    The usual bling will drape its Ti tubes.
    Pink Chris King Headset,Thomson stem, Race Face Next SL XC bar,Oury Grips, Avid Ultimates for brakes,Thomson Masterpiece Post, Fizik Gobi saddle, Black Eno Crank and ring, KMC pink chain8) , Mavic 819s laced to DT 240S hubs and Kenda Small Block 8's:beer:

    Once it lands I will post the pix!

    I have the Pace all ready to go, plus a R7 Super for those not so fresh days:lol:
    I have been using the Pace for awhile, really love it!
    Here is a picture of the style of sliding dropout, the Paragon slider. If Waltworks stands behind it, I am on it!:clap:

    I love the paragons, almost wish I'd gone with them on my SS. I assumed you were talking about a diff kind of slidin dropout, just released at Ibike.

    Matt I dont know how you can say that, your Vulture has the sweetest looking dropouts out there. Besides I like the look of a clean dropout and sliders do not do it for me.

    Sliding dropouts are OK if they have tugnuts. On my old Kona Unit without tugnuts the axle would slip.

    I got to agree with Dean, the dropouts on that blue dream of yours is hard to beat.
