Strengths:    overbuilt for great stability and handling

Weaknesses:    not enough clearance for larger tires. 700 X 30 Michelling Jets leave barely enough room for fenders. I'd like to be able to run 2.0 Big Apples for touring. It's tight on the toe strike issue also. If I'm unclipped for a take off or in the city I toe strike the front wheel.

Bottom Line:

Really a great frame but the two issues I mentioned could be improved, particularly the tire clearance issue.

Bottom Line:

Dear Don,
I received my Lynskey Backroad tour bike with the Lynskey build package and wheels shown on the Lynskey website. What a bike! The YouTube video I watched said load it up with whatever you’re strong enough to carry and go down the road. Now that I have the bike, I’m certain that it’s up to the task.
I still own and love a classic early 80’s touring bike. Its been from the 80’s until now that someone - Lynskey – has finally made a bike that exceeds the abilities of those classic touring frames from yesteryear. With the frame’s strength and titanium construction, it’s a bike for life.
Thanks to all of the people at Lynskey for a great product and truth in advertising.

Best regards,
Jim
