Hi gang,

I'm selling a 2008 Lynskey Level 4 frame-set. Lynskey is the family that
started Litespeed; now they're building and selling amazing Ti bikes under
their own name.

A little about this frame:
-It's new. Never been built up, never been ridden. They stopped using the
Level designation after 2008, but the closest approximation to what they're
currently building is the R440.
-It uses 6Al-4V Ti throughout the tubeset. This is the stiffest, strongest
level of Ti used in bicycle manufacturing. It's also the choice of NASA.
-Chainstays are asymmetrical to resist drivetrain flex. Seatstays are
shaped with a gentle radius bend to dampen road shock. The downtube is a
gigantic diamond shaped airfoil for extreme stiffness and aerodynamics. The
toptube is laterally shaped to resist out of plane torsion between the
front and rear when you're putting out a 1,900 watt sprint.
-The frame and fork are factory painted by Lynskey, the paint scheme is
called True Flame.
-The frame-set comes with a red Chris King headset, a paint matched
Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork, an alloy seatpost collar, and a zero setback
Thomson Elite seatpost.

Salient frame numbers:
Head tube angle: 73
Seat tube angle: 73
Effective top tube length: 55.7cm
Head tube length: 15.2cm
BB height: 26.9cm
Chainstay length: 40.6cm
Wheel base: 97.9cm
Seat tube length: 52cm
Stand over height: 77.6cm
Fork rake: 43mm.

This frame-set currently retails for about $4,600- without a headset, and
seatpost. The price of $3,000 is firm, much like the ride this frame-set
delivers.

A lot of people say "this is the last bike you'll ever need." If you bought
this frame-set, you could actually make that claim.

Thanks for looking, shoot me an email if you've got any other questions!

PS- new, lower price. This is a steal for what you're getting. Want a
Lynskey but don't want to wait three months for your "in stock" frame to
ship out? Buy this. It's awesome, and it can ship tomorrow.
