Looks like an old school Ti family fab to me :wink:

Thats what I would have guessed from the tube profiling. Clearly doing a fair bit of third party work now.

I'm assuming your talking about Lynsky? Cause w/ the etching and the headtube thats what i would guess.
 
Yep, Lynskey built. Mark Lynskey stopped in the shop a month or two ago to check out the collection. We started talking about Mountain Goat and he said to give him a shout if we wanted to build a Ti Goat. Matt, one of our long-time customers, was looking for a nice light dedicated single speed so we put it all together. I really wanted to keep as much "Goat-ness" as possible and were able to use the wishbone and some semblance of the head tube reinforcements. I really don't think Ti should be painted so we worked out the panel etching which came out great. It is really hard to get a good picture of it though.

Now if someone really wants to do a bamboo one, give us a shout and I am sure we can make it happen!

I did the first ride on the Ti bull moose bars tonight and it was a dramatic difference from the steel bars I had been running......good stuff.

I'd love one but I think I've almost reached my bike quota at the moment.

Maybe something to consider for the next handmade bike show etc.

Gagging for it.
 
There's a short article in this month's What Mountain Bike mag about Lynksey teaming up with Brant Richards to produce "On One" Ti frames also.

I do like the way you've done the "decals" withthe etching. Very nice.
