Good deal! not the glass, the bike! You saved nearly $1,000 on that frame, nice. Are you putting the components on or is Lynskey? If neither, you could have Lynskey send the frameset to Adrenalin Bikes and they can put all the components on for usually less money than a bike shop, even if you're putting the components on yourself, Adrenalin can usually get the components, install them for cheaper than you can buy it, but you would have to check the prices to make sure of course.

I checked out their current road offerings and not a single rim brake option. Disappointed but not unexpected with new Shimano groups being disc only. Big sigh.....🙁

Going to transfer over most of the components from the Warbird. External routing means that I can literally transplant my cockpit and run new hoses/ cables. Will just need a new FD and flat mount brake calipers. Had the foresight to get DT Swiss hubs for my current wheelset so already have the QR to Thru conversion parts.

I’m so close to pulling the trigger on picking up a Livewire. Do I need it, no, but I can’t stop thinking about it.

Yeah. Too small for me. I’m trying to figure out if a XL or L would be best for me.

Anyone know if the gravel bikes set up for 160/140 or 140/140? They don't have any info on the website on that one and I know bubkiss about flat mount.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot -- all set.

My GR300 External Cable frame came set up for 160mm flat mount, front and rear.

mtb_frk · #41 07-01-2022, 02:37 PM

I’ve got 140 rear with no adapter, and a 160 front with a adapter. Pro GR frame.

Livewire inbound. Time to find a fork for it.

Lynskey lost their mojo ages ago, loved my early 90’s Litespeed Ultimate but once they sold up and became the discount bin for titanium bikes they lost credibility in my eyes. Them and Merlin were used to be the nicest but many others hold that mantle now.

I respectfully disagree. But you have your opinion.

credibility?

they still are made in USA frames that offer a full lifetime warranty.

How much more "credibility" do you need than that? Don't be fooled into thinking you HAVE to pay 3x the price to get a quality titanium frame.
