Not in the market for a new Ti bike of this category, but after years of seeing for sale/purchased bikes on the forum I couldn’t help but notice that this is a really good deal. Isn’t it?

This is the first time I have heard of Sage. They look good in the pix.

Last I heard, the frames were being manufactured by Lynskey, so they should generally be well-constructed if the geometry works for you.

Bummer the tire clearance is so tight tho. And their 60cm is a BIG 60cm (412mm reach).

The stack on the 62 is 59.9. That seems pretty short for a 62. I ride a 62 or 63 and could not ride a bike with a stack that short.

very nice looking ride. Lynsey also claims their road frames only clear 25mm. I wonder if that's conservative or accurate

Judging by the stock photo of the brake bridge area; I wouldn't plan on running a true 28mm tire.

I had never heard of Sage either.
Is Lynskey sort of a USA Sarto, building for themselves and for at least several other independently badged brands? Who else do they build for?

I was under the impression these were made overseas in Asia and that the original Sage bikes were made by Lynskey, but I could be wrong?

Edit: Apparently I am mistaken. Thought I read this a while ago, but the site says different!
