What Makes Lynskey Custom Different? 

The final design of a Lynskey custom frame is based on a thorough fitting session at the shop and an interview with David Lynskey.  We work together with David to design the best frame for you, based on:

bulletYour physique
bulletYour riding style
bulletYour desired ride qualities
bulletDesired frame weight

It's the last item in this list that makes Lynskey unique among current custom titanium frame builders.  Lynskey can hit exceptionally low target weights for custom frames, because Lynskey shapes and butts their titanium tubes with the newest, state-of-the-art machinery in the industry.  No one else has it, because David Lynskey designed and built this machinery himself, from scratch.  See PezCycling News' July 24 article for a look at how Lynskey has tooled up, and how they create their tubing sets.

Custom or House Blend?

Custom is the way to go if:

bulletYou're a weight weenie with an average-to-slender build -- the already low weights of Lynskey House Blend frames can be made even lower by tube selection and additional butting.  
bulletYou're a Clydesdale or a power sprinter -- Lynskey can tweak the stiffness of your custom frame and still hit a weight that's close to House Blend.
bulletYour anatomy just doesn't work with House Blend geometry.
bulletYou want a mountain, cross, or touring frame at a level not offered in House Blend.
