New Lynskey ti frames at $1100, complete bikes $2199

I posted this today on another forum and it caused quite a splash.  Some folks thought ti was dead except the boutique builders - Moots, IF, Seven, Firefly etc.  Now Lynskey comes into the picture shattering all previous ti price points.  This should be interesting.

I hope that is a sign of things to come from other builders as well.

Thanks for the link.

Litespeed changed owners and shifted to mostly carbon bikes.  Good way to kill off a business, changing you core product.  With so many carbon frames on the market, very few stand out and most are just boring and won't last very long.  Just watch any pro race crash and you see broken carbon bikes everywhere.

Lynskeys, former Litespeed owners are getting back to what they were good at.
