I went to the guru site, and didn't see it. That is a sweet looking bike. When I hit Lotto, I will inquire about getting one!

Thanks. That's a smokin' Lynskey. I like the compact bars too. I think I need to replace mine.

Guess what the stork brought in today.
My Lynskey Helix OS is going to have a brother soon.
Although I got the R330 as a build kit with SRAM Force, I have decided to substitute in various other components.
I have started the ordering process already - starting from the 2012 SRAM Red Quarq GXP 34/50 170 mm crankset.
Since I have my Helix OS to ride now, I will be taking my time - perhaps two months to gather all the components.
But, I could not wait to share my excitement now.

Congrats on the awesome and beautiful build. I like the red accents but I already did that for my Helix OS - SRAM Red, Chris King Red Inset headset, Fizik Alliante Red braided carbon rails, wheels with Red DT-Swiss prolock hex nipples, and am only missing a red seat collar. Would you consider a red seat collar?
I got the R330 with the black Cane Creek 110 headset - so I decided to use black accents this time. I have an appointment for a bike fit tomorrow to determine a geometry for 4 hour+ rides for a comfortable stem length, steerer tube spacer height, handle bar drop and reach, seat post height and offset, saddle angle, and pedal cleat position and angle.
I will probably order an ENVE stem to match the ENVE fork. Apart from that, hmm...

I guess we all got our R330's at the same time.
