Picking Your Lynskey

Titanium combines comfort, reliability, and light weight with an unmatched ability to resist oxidation, fatigue, and high impact. A well-made titanium frame retains its outstanding ride and appearance long after carbon, aluminum, and even steel have lost some of their luster.  No matter what your skill level or what area of cycling you are most passionate about, you will find a Lynskey frame that fits your needs:

Houseblend = stock geometry and tubing set, S, M, M/L, L, XL
Custom = custom geometry and tubing set

Shopping Around

Titanium is a big investment, made with the expectation that this will be your perfect bike, one that fits well and will last you for many years.  Lynskey customers tend to do a lot of research before they buy.  To help you with this, we provide links to the competition from other well-established companies like Guru, Independent Fabrications, Litespeed, Merlin (owned by Litespeed), Moots (the only other U.S. company that specializes in titanium), Seven, and Serotta. 

Lynskey Pricing

Check the Lynskey website for the most current frame prices.  We charge the same prices, and we provide an expert fitting and expert assembly as well.

All Lynskey specials that are listed on the Lynskey Loft are available through us at the same price, including closeouts.

BB30 Bottom Bracket

Standard on the Cooper BB30, Helix OS BB30, Pro26 BB30, Pro 29 BB30/Lefty, available as a custom option on any other Lynskey frame, custom or Houseblend.  The BB30 bottom bracket enhances the stiffness of a metal frame, so you'll feel like you're on carbon!

Since we are a Cannondale dealer, you can have your BB30 Lynskey built up with a Cannondale Si crankset, as well as a Cannondale Lefty fork.
