We guarantee your fit
Custom or Houseblend?
Custom is the way to go if:
 | You'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. |
| You'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. |
| Your anatomy just doesn't work with House
Blend geometry. |
| You want a mountain, cross, or touring frame at a level not
offered in House Blend. |
Fit --> Frame Design
--> Your Bike
Whether you're 5'2" or 6'7" or anywhere
else on the scale of human geometry, we can put you on your dream frame.
Our bike
fitter will:
| Gather information about your prior riding
experience and your goals for the future. |
| Measure you. |
| Dial you into a position that is both comfortable and efficient. |
| Help you to decide whether you want to go custom or House Blend (standard geometry). |
| Help you select the level of frame that will best suit
your needs. |
| Suggest a custom frame
design, if custom is how you choose to go. |
| Submit all this information to your frame
designer, David Lynskey. |
If you have decided on a custom frame, David
Lynskey:
| Digests the information submitted by Justin. |
| Interviews you personally. |
| Based on input from you and your bike
fitter, creates a tubing set and a frame design that will deliver your perfect ride. |
Your Preliminary Bike Fit
Your purchase begins with a scheduled bike
fitting with Justin. You can expect the process to take up to
two hours.
- Please bring your current bike and riding gear with you,
even if you're not certain of your current fit.
- Justin
will take all the key measurements, discuss your expectations and your cycling
history, suggest a frame design, and submit this information to LPD.
- With David Lynskey's input, Chris
Lynskey draws a preliminary frame design, which he
returns to us for your review, and for your interview with David.
Your Interview with David Lynskey
Your next step will be a phone interview with
master frame-builder David Lynskey. Some aspects of this may seem like a repeat of your Bike Center
interview, but for a frame designer, there's no substitute for first-hand
information. David uses the preliminary frame design drawing to tailor
his discussion with you, to ensure that you are getting exactly what you
want.
After your interview:
- David has Chris prepare a final draft of
the frame drawing.
- We review the drawing.
- Once you
have approved the drawing yourself, the construction of your frame
begins.
Your Post-Assembly Fit
The final step is another session with Justin. Using both the road and a stationary
trainer, we fine-tune seat height and handlebar position.
