Hummer's what?
Lynskey seem to be going for world domination
given they're building the best and second best bikes in the world, and the Ragle Ti, which will probably displace the latter two, I think you are right.
Shame litespeeds are so gopping though.
lol @ cynic-al.
ye just cannae let it lie 😀
Glad you're taking it in the spirit it's intended 😀
nae bother min 😀
Is it still overpriced?
OMG!!!WTF111HERESYCOPTERS

the welding is lovely apart from that sh*T gusseting at the head head - spoils it for me a bit!
edit" on the original link"
chunky - same DT as the Ti456.............. 😀
brant's right though - ST bottle bosses are just plain daft / nasty for a BOMBER HT.
does anyone know the true angles / geom ?
That one Chunkypaul posted isn't the one I've seen.
Perhaps they've had some UK specific ones done.
There's something quite different about the ones I've seen.
brant ? eh ?
chunky's post shows a Lynskey fabb'd Hummer.......
What have you seen then ?
note the replaceable D/Outs on the NSMB site.
I'm intrigued now to see the mbuk test bike to compare it to the pics on nsmb.
down tube is the same (or very similar) to my ti29er as well
hohohoh.....Cove are on the On One / Ragley / Lynskey under-skirts 👿
What have you seen then ?
Quite different to that. I'm not going to contradict what Cove Bike Shop are posting though. I know Silverfish look here, and I'm sure we'll have confirmation shortly of what's going on, but that aint like the Hummer that was tested in MBUK, or the "other" shots I've seen.
Looks ace though!
you're right - it looks AMAZING 😀
richiethesilverfish - what's going on ???????????????????
you're right - it looks AMAZING
what - you've seen it too?
The bike on the cove site isn't the same as the one on nsmb...
mustard - no, it's not.
richie - tell us more please !
I might be being stupid but this doesn't have a mech hanger on it - do all Ti frames come like this d.t. Ti strength - Hmm what about SS, Fixie conversion?
foxy - eh ?
mech hanger is replaceable on this new Hummer.....

/p>
not on on here! 🙄
foxy - the cove website photos of the hummer are well out of date
thats the 2006 model they have shown....
ak - explains it - just seemed silly not to have a separate hanger that tix all - cheers!
I'd love a Ti frame, just that I don't know anyone who's had one for a good lenth of time, that hasn't cracked!?
[The welding process is very specific and controlled to be successful]
what do you consider a serious length of time woodsman?
just curious...
still riding a ti frame from 1995, admitedly its a SS with vees on the back but still a fab frame, no cracks, no rust, sure it has the odd ding but still perfectly usable.
God damn you Simon you MF.
That frame looks really, really nice. And I have always hankered after a Ti frame ever since back in the day. Yours thankfully being too short...
Guess best not ask Richard for a price then...
What happens when the derailer hanger takes a big hit??end of frame?
its got a replaceable hanger.
oops double post.
metalhead - aye, the new Lynskey Hummer looks stunning, but I very much doubt it'd ride better than the Ti456 which is just brilliant, and very well thought out.
the Hummer still relies on 'traditional' philosophies, but long fork corrected geometry.

I don't even understand what you mean.
TLR - yes, but they are so terribly [i]common[/i] these days....
Still need to come round and see it. Finger as good as its going to get and I have actually been going out on the bike again. You still up for that Glen Tanar pootle one of these days?
Brant - you say that like its a bad thing... 😉

Perhaps it should have be *I* don't even know what you mean... but what I meant is - what does this mean - "[i]I very much doubt it'd ride better than the Ti456 which is just brilliant, and very well thought out. the Hummer still relies on 'traditional' philosophies, but long fork corrected geometry."[/i]
No what I meant was, bearing in mind Simons previous missives on just about anything, the lack of comprehension would be the default option.
Maybe if you actually understood what he was saying then that would be time to start worrying!
Good point 🙂
