We guarantee your fit
If bikes
right off the sales floor have always fit you well, House Blend
may be a good alternative to a custom frame. House Blend frames are stock geometry frames
built with
pre-selected tubing sets based on frame size.
What are the advantages of House
Blend?
 | The price of a House Blend frame is lower
than custom. |
| Delivery time is faster. |
| While your "average size" may make
you a candidate for a House Blend, there is nothing average about the way a
House Blend rides -- see our Face-Off page. |
Road:
All Lynskey House Blend road frames are made
with semi-compact geometry. Price includes an Alpha Q GS-10 Competition
fork:
Mountain
Cyclocross
Are there any disadvantages to House Blend?
| Lighter riders can get lighter frames by
going custom. |
| Mashers can get stiffer frames by going
custom. |
| Some riders really do need custom to get the
proper fit. |
Road Advantage Lynskey -- the House Blend Head Tube
The Lynskey House Blend head tubes are
2cm longer than head tubes of most stock-geometry titanium road frames. Here's what you gain:
| Stability -- You rely less on stem rise and stack height
and more on the frame itself for proper handlebar height. Since the
diameter of the head tube is wider than the parts that fit through it or over it (fork and
stem), your frame will be laterally stiffer than one that has to rely more
on stack (spacers between headset and stem) to achieve the right
handlebar position. Greater lateral stiffness in your front end
translates into better power transfer AND more stability, especially at higher speeds. |
| Comfort -- With 3cm of stack, a House Blend frame will put
your handlebars a minimum of 2cm higher than most other brands, for a more
comfortable, all-day riding position. |
Other HB Road Goodies:
| A House Blend road frame includes a True
Temper Alpha Q GS-10 fork. |
