Lynskey summer sale is live.
Some pretty great deals to be had.

I love my R300! Great prices right now!

Nice prices if you want a mech drivetrain. Honestly don't know SRAM at all, but is a Force AXS group worth $1550 more than a Force (not AXS?) group?

Should I replace my 2008 old school geometry 29er hardtail… tempting for sure.

Yes. Absolutely no comparison. The Live Wire is the most modern.

Factor in a much greater travel fork?? 2008 VS today...

Yeah I have a Santa Cruz TB3. Boost, 130mm fork, slacker for sure but not as slack as the tb4.

The hardtail is a Seven Ti/carbon super bike. I generally just ride the full suspension bike though now days,

I don’t need anything crazy slack, in Michigan the trails aren’t that steep or crazy.

Has anyone ever paid retail for a Lynskey ?

Definitely not in the past decade

You would be crazy not to wait for sales like these!

I’ve been watching weekly and jumped as soon as I saw the latest prices.

3,600 for GR300 w/Rival AXS...pretty good buy!... Add some decent wheels brings over 4K but still, where can you find American made TI bike wireless for that price...

Yes, prices are excellent. And their bikes are equally as excellent. And personally, I love mechanical drivetrains.

But not quite as excellent as my last frameset buy, 2020 Helix Pro Disc with ENVE fork excellent, not even close.

About 700.00 more with a Lynskey fork. I lucked out those were back ordered and I squeaky wheeled into the ENVE upgrade no up charge.

They still shipping for free?

rnhood · #14 06-29-2022, 04:27 PM

Yes, I know what you mean. But the 300 for a everyday type gravel bike would seem to be a bonafide bargain.

Lynskey IMO floods their own market.

Resale used 'good for buyers' and 'not sellers'.

Unless you are TPC of course. They offered me 1700.00 for my ridden twice Helix Pro I turned down $3k for locally.. I was after something TPC had/trade in, but not even close to close on a Lynskey. I expected a low 2300-2500, but the carbon wheels started out @ 1700.00. Lost me for life TPC.
