All I can say is Wooooooooooooooooow for the customer service for Lynskey. Thanks Don at Lynskey.
A couple years back I bought a pro29 and was a little unhappy with the flex however I learned to appreciated the plushness assocted with that frame when I turned it into a singlespeed.
About 2 months ago I broke the frame :eekster: I was pretty upset because it had become my favorite bike for a while. I have to say I was scared because I heard about the trouble many of my friends had with other manufactures trying to get stuff warrenteed (some just told them to buy a new one). Not Lynskey, They had me send the frame back so they could inspect it.....now I am the proud owner of a 2010 Helix Pro20:thumbsup:
This thing is beautiful!!!!! They even allowed me to get the etched graphics and flames and the mill finish for a few extra bucks. This was not even available when I ordered the original Pro29 Sweeeeeeeet. Now.....this is why you spend a little extra for good frame. You pay for a warrentee. This will be a lifetime bike for me. I built it up yesterday but wont get to test until tomorrow morning.
This frame has so many inprovements from the original which is what a good frame builder does....they continually look to improve. The stays are much beefier and I am looking forward to seeing how the helix works. I will post soon with pictures.
