Help me on a new Lynskey sale
 

I see Lynskey is having some good sales. They list a R255 for a great price my question has to do with geometry I am not good with that. I need a large at 6"1.5 and 35 inch cycling inseam. I see this has a rake of 43 compare to some that have 45. I was also looking at the R240 anniversary model at more money but still pretty good for sure. This has shorter wheelbase and the 45 rake and is more cash. I am decent mechanic and wheel builder but know zero about geometry. I simply do all my own set ups and dialing in the position. On my Wilier I am fine for a century no issues.


So my goals are I am not a racer at 55 I tend to go out and ride long 30-80 miles a shot as I am also a runner. Seems the 255 may be an older model they are trying to sell out on but this is the way to get into a Ti frame for a decent price for sure. I do like to go out and ride pretty hard when I go. Check this out and I will have any opinions they are welcome. https://lynskeyperformance.com/r240-...plete-bicycle/

Try calling their customer service. I founds them to be very helpful and no 'sales pitch' attitude.

Agree. My sense is that 2mm rake one way or another does not matter much. Let us know what Lynskey says.

Another for just giving them a call. It was really enjoyable working with them when ordering my R240. Ask for Jack Kopeski.

They were really responsive through email as well, especially through my indecision (I was stuck between the Sportive, the R255, the R240 and the R360). For me, the R240 seemed like the best balance of all worlds. Not fantastic in any one area, but an excellent all-around bike for long solo rides, to local dirt roads, to some competition. I love it.

Jack Kopeski left Lynskey recently

Dang. Well, I hope he's enjoying his next stage.

Actually it can depending on other geometry measures. Don't forget how flexy the fork is. Rode the same bike with different fork(same rake) and was amazed they felt so different
