Lynskey HB410R, Easton E90SL fork, DA groupo, FSA bar and sp, Mavic Ksyriums, Keos, and a Sele Italia SMP saddle. Summary:
I've been riding for 12 years and have purchased at least 10 road bikes. I've ridden steel, carbon, aluminum, carbon and aluminum, titanium.... I also had two Litespeed frames- the first was a Lynskey, the second ABG. I was really unhappy with the ABG Litespeed. I recently purchased a Lynskey LV4 and was immediately taken back to the Lynskey standard established in the mid to late 90's. Strengths:
The frame is very stiff and has a good ride. It's lite but not to the point of being unstable. It climbs well, but I'm not a strong climber so that wasn't a requirement. Quality and craftsmanship is superior to similar frames. This thing decends like its on rails. It looks fast! Weaknesses:
I paid full price (including $250 upcharge for the brush finish - then they dropped the price by 20%. Could have saved $500! Similar Products Used:
