They didn't, he did.

Fixed it. Thanks.

Because the frame came in a terrible state since it had been used by a cycling pro and was painted in team colors. Five years ago I had it painted black with white decals so now I decided to go the other way round.

brace yourself.

color.

y not?

According to my BF wrap sheet..You couldn't be more correct..:thumb:

BTW, here's how the white Merlin frame started its life...

This photo was taken during the 1993 Dutch National Championship.

Post #1766. He eloquently answered my question rather than your delinquent rhetoric.

Nice pic. Seems like it was some what painted to begin with?

Indeed, Rossin only made steel frames at that time but Rooks (1988 TdF King of the Mountains) needed something lighter. Like many pro riders in those days he had a light carbon or in this case titanium frame camouflaged as a team bike.

[QUOTE=MarkThailand;14017595]I just got an email reply back from Don Erwin, Lynskey's Sale Manager. He generally answers all emails personally and is one of the spearheads of the exemplary Lynskey customer service.

Apparently my Helix OS was one of the last Helix OS's to be fabricated that still require a 31.6mm seatpost. All future Helix OS's and most other Lynskey's will require a 27.2mm seatpost, except for the Pro26 MTB."




WOW.....any idea why Lynskey changed seatpost diameters?

I have a 2009 R330 with the larger diameter post. I wonder if they are selling off old inventory of oversize posts???

I think they changed the seatpost diameter for comfort reasons.
I think it started last year when bike Basics became the new importer for the Benelux, Germany.
Those frames had in 2011 already 27.2 mm seatposts.

Get those bars and stem down

It's one of the oldest tricks in the books though.

A repost but got some new bars - FSA Omega Wing Carbons.

full titanium. doing it right.

Incorrect. Hence carbon fork.

Lynskey helix is a very nice bike.

I saw one for the first time last month built with full Dura Ace/carbon wheelset...I immediately changed my draws when I got home.

The Helix is a masterpiece. I don't care if the twisted tube is a gimmick. You can have the frame as an art piece in a house.
