They're nicely built and well finished - and look lovely in smaller sizes. Depends what you want from a bike really. There are frames made by the same people for brands like Salsa which are a lot more expensive IIRC.

Yep, CRC had a few at 600 quid a few weeks back, I was sorely tempted.

🙄 You don't think thats down to design then rather than fabrication? Lynskey use a chain/seatstay brace on all of their own frames that are disc brake equipped.

'Worth the money' is an impossible question to answer.

I recently bought a Ti frame and built it up and it's probably the best bike I've ever ridden, is it worth the money? to me yes to others it's just a bike.

If you're getting one and are worried about it snapping then it's worth thinking about the lifetime guarantee that first time owners get with Lynskey (and many other Ti frame builders) frames.

If you decide to part with the cash then it will be worth it, if not then it won't.
