Hey all,

i had a airbourne lucky strike TI,had an incident with it recently and need it replacing,airbourne as far as i am aware are no longer avaliable so i need some other options to consider.

the only MUST is that it has v brake mount,TI and 17.5".

what are the options? =]

many thanks

v-brake mount might be an issue.

what's your budget - Lynskey etc will probably do somethign custom for you, otherwise keep an eye on classifieds and ebay - v-brake only frames are probably worth less than they used to be as everyone wants disks.

I'm sure there's been a few 'v'only litespeeds on the classifieds in the past few months - might be worth a search+ an email to see if they're still available?

Bought a Litespeed Toccoa frame off ebay September last year. £330 quid - with v-brake bosses. They are there if you are lucky.

Shame it has to have V brake mounts, I'll be selling my 17.5" Merlin XLM next week.

Van Nic Mamtor from On one sale £450 I think, and some cheap disc brakes?

Yeah I really like my Zion, 22/23lbs with an XT type setup.

Moots do v's, bloomin stunning bikes, saw one of the road bikes at the London Bike Show yesterday, pop down if you can, they had the Van N's there too, again amazing finish, they had the Genesis Ti too, but i'm pretty sure that's disc only. If I were buying I'd convert to disc and get a Cotic Soda, can't get the bike out of my dreams. Have fun searching and post a pic when you're done 😀
