Been after one of these all year, just got myself in a position to buy one, emailed on one to be told that they're undergoing a full redesign and won't be available for six months!
Desperate to get hold of one in a 16 inch, ideally with a headset.
Any ideas?
there was one in the classifieds for £300 yesterday - I'd keep an eye on there.
i'd be interested to hear why they're doing a full redesign
Wonder what the redesign is. Maybe Brant is going to tweak the geometry for the first time in years?
I expect the first change will be a 44mm ID head tube to get rid of the tapered one. New ones looks really burly compared to the Lynksey one and is quite heavy so probably going to be some weight loss too (at 1700g it's only 300g less than a Cotic Soul which has the benefit of being easier to fix!
Redesign is new geometry and manufacturer.
Tapered headtube stays.
Brant: i'm desperate to get hold of one, if you've got any clues as to where I might be able to get a 16inch version of the current model from please drop me a line.

Many thanks
simonlovesrocks has one that's just come back from lynksey, looks like new.
thisisnotaspoon have you got an email address for simonlovesrocks please?
The lynskey built ones are completely different to the current ones anyway arent they?
wondering if they might change the swapout system i lost one of the long chainring bolts that hold the swapouts in place while i was riding and now i can't ride the bike.
I've got some long chain ring bolts if you need one. Do you need the male and female sort of is your frame threaded?
Drop me a message or email

hey thanks shindiggy thats very generous of you, i have however ordered some from crc and i'm waiting for them to arrive. i dont understand why i couldn't find any on the planet x website tho, i would have thought that seeing as they sell the frames they would sell replacement parts too maybe i was looking in the wrong place?.
Out of interest, what bolts did you get. The frame bolts are a lot longer than usual chain ring bolts
mmb - would be interested to hear what bolts you got too - and how good they fit. I've hamfistedly rounded a couple of mine off - they're just about ok, but will need replacing at some point. Thanks!
i bought these but they're a little too long with regards too the nut so i filed down the nut by about 5mm and they're fine if the original nuts you have are still in good nic you can use those and there's no need to do any filing.
