Someone was a little too aggressive with Photoshop background filtering, methinks.

That's gotta shave off at least a few grams.

Meh... It only takes one bolt to hold it on there anyway.

that's to offset the weight of the rivets holding badges to the frame.

Another thing I noticed is that Lynskey has an integrated/internal headtube, as evidenced by no lower headset cup. However, the top of the fork is not the same diameter of the lower end of the headtube. That looks really bad.

Agreed. Hopefully that is also a product of poor photoshopping because that is hideous.
