Ride report? The twisted tubing is sort of cool...but a little weird. I can't figure out if I would like it or not. Nice bike.

Man those Lynskey bikes are nice. But we do have to know how much it weighs.
You have your instructions.

Gorgeous.... still trying to figure out how that frame could be all that stiff. Is the twisty bits supposed to improve on stiffness or is it more for looks?

Nice twisty tubes, hence, the helix name. Very nice and good luck with it.

Wow, you can't say the Helix looks like anything else. Quite an eye catching ride!
Apparently we have to guess the weight. I'll take 15 lbs 4 oz, please.
