Have you emailed '[b]Kinesis[/b]'? '[b]They're[/b]' bound to know.

Don't know, but I think they're made in Taiwan. Certainly not Lynskey anyway. As nicely built as any ti frame I've had including a custom Litespeed.

It's lush BTW, but the Manitou towers are rubbish!

Will find out of distributor tomorrow for you. Have a feeling its the same people as make Van Nic.

It's definitelu Taiwanese (a good thing when it comes to Ti!), I've known way too many people with Lynskey related issues to have ever contemplated going that way...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm really glad Kinesis don't do a medium 650B Sync!

Keeps the temptation away ๐Ÿ˜‰

Especially as I'd need to buy a Lefty to go with it ๐Ÿ˜€

Was talking to Rory from Upgrade at the LBS last week about fitting the high volume WTB Scraper 27.5 rims to my Lg Sync 29, half fat but not niche fat.

EDIT: not that fat is niche anymore

I thought the whole point of Kinesis was that [b]they[/b] were the manufacturer.
They make other people's bikes don't they, but also designed in Britain under the Kinesis brand.

Oh bugger. Now I have a problem, albeit nice problem, apart from the fact that to fund this, my utopian 2 wheeled desire, I'll need to sell both my current bikes, one a steel HT and the other a 2013 FS...

And even then I might be coming up shy of a frame and Lefty cost...

Anywhere in the Midlands to test one of these?
Preferably large 29er?
Thanx,
Max

Depends what you call Midlands. You're welcome to come and give mine a go in Norfolk.

I'm in Norfolk too! Now.

What size is your frame Bol please? So long as your offer extends to others?

Mountain biking capital of Britain. It's a large, so probably not ideal. You're welcome to give it a go though.
