Lynskey titanium frames combine high performance 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 one knows titanium better than the Lynskeys. The Lynskey family founded Litespeed™ to manufacture titanium frames in 1986. When they sold Litespeed in 1999, the company had grown into the largest and most respected manufacturer of titanium frames in the world. In 2006, the Lynskeys formed the company that bears their name, Lynskey Performance Designs.

The Lynskeys are keenly aware of the competition offered by the other exotic frame material, carbon, and their designs reflect this. Highlights include:

	Helix Technology -- Lynskey spiral-shapes tubing to enhance frame stiffness without sacrificing ride quality
	BB30 bottom bracket -- Lynskey produces BB30 bottom brackets that enhance frame stiffness of a metal frame
	Lynskey frames for as little as $1395 -- Lynskey uses the most advanced tube-shaping in the industry, but without butting, to produce frames that are affordable, and definitely NOT "entry level"

See our photo gallery for a look at what your new Lynskey might look like.

Try Before You Buy

A demo session at The Bike Center will help you answer three fundamental questions:

	How much Lynskey do I need?
	Do I want SRAM or Shimano*?
	What wheels work best for me?

* We hope Campy fans don't feel left out, but in our experience, if you're a Campy person, you already know what you want for a gruppo. The purpose of the demo in your case is to help you decide which frame and which wheels work best for you.

We have the following Lynskeys set up for test rides:

MD Helix with Shimano Dura-Ace 7950 (new Dura-Ace with compact cranks)

MD/LG Cooper, with SRAM Rival group and SRAM Red cranks

MD/LG Cooper BB30, with SRAM Force and Cannondale SI Hollowgram cranks

MD House Blend R220 BB30 with Cannondale SI Hollowgram cranks and SRAM Red group with SRAM XX rear derailleur (set up for races like the Mount Washington Hillclimb, but works great with a regular road cassette).

Three levels of wheels -- light, lighter, and lightest:

	Mavic Ksyrium Elite -- the best wheelset available for under $700, and still one of the best available for under $1,000
	Topolino TrueBlack CTR2.0 -- clinchers so light and supple, they feel like tubulars
	Edge Composites 1.25, 1.45, and 1.65 -- the ultimate in durability and light weight for carbon

A demo does not need to be a perfect fit for you to get a good feel for what each model will do for you. Once you decide, we encourage you to schedule a personal fitting with us. Please contact us to make arrangements.
