Which Lynskey?
Looking to buy a Lynskey.
Can't decide between the Helix OS or the standard Helix.
The geometry of the standard Helix is closer to my Cervelo but I figure I can get close by using a stem flipped up on the Helix OS.
Other than BB30 and Headtube size what is the $1200 difference for?
Thanks.

The bottom bracket is Press fit 30, the geometry is more aggressive and I think the head tube is oversized. I looked at both and may someday go for a Helix. I need a tall enough head tube to eliminate neck pain.

You mean actually talking to someone who deals with the issue on a daily basis and might know something, rather than asking random strangers in an internet forum? Where's the fun in that one?

I have talked to Lyskey a few times they are very helpful. If you hit their website a instant messenger dialog box will pop up and you can type in your question.

Talk with Jack. He knows his stuff.
I'd get the standard for anything outside of cat1 grade racing. Personally.
