Lynskey Performance Designs PRO29 VF 29er Hardtail
Product DescriptionOversized 2 inch Helix downtube and 44mm headtube help create our stiffest, best handling 29er frame to date. A plate style chainstay provides significant tire clearance. Vertical Fixed Dropouts with Replaceable Derailleur Hanger for geared specific setup. We built the PRO29 for those riders who wanted a race-oriented mountain hardtail with 29" wheels. We received countless requests for a true high-performance 29er that was not a do-all bike. Designed around the tight, twisty singletrack of the Southeast, this bike is at home on technical terrain and shines on fire roads and double track. Made from aerospace grade 3/2.5 titanium, this frame is built to go fast. The PRO29 boasts a multi-shaped tubeset for stiffness, beautiful lines for pure aesthetics, race proven geometry, excellent responsiveness and confident handling. New for 2011 is the addition of an oversized 2 inch Helix downtube and oversized headtube creating our stiffest best handling 29er frame to date. In addition we've added a plate style chainstay to provide significant tire clearance. This VF model comes with Wright Style Dropouts with replaceable hangers which are for dedicated geared setups.
