Lynskey Custom / Enigma/ Moots

Did I see this at the Palestra bike park today?

Yes you did! Do you work there?

Was teaching bike maintenance there yesterday

Also spotted @I_am_Hingis as well.

Matty C, are you one of the Palestra bike hoarder crew?

@I_am_Hingis Ahoy! yeah I am one of them... although I got rid of most of my stash to fund this build - are you the chap with the tandem?

Yah man!

And there is a chap at Palestra with the Paul Smith Mercian

Yeah spoken to him a few times, nice chap - gave me some good advice on touring gear...

Cheers! the mudguards are 99% there - the rear still rubs on the tyre occationally... I'm going to have one more go at it this weekend...

I'm happy with the Ti stem - won it on eBay a few weeks ago hoping it was 110mm but getting on with it just fine...

Does anyone want to buy an unmarked Thomson 110mm X2 and a beater black CK hs cheap?

@mattyc It is beatiful :-)

For aesthetic only, I would say get a stem that lines with the TT and de-stricker the wheels.

The silver finishing kit looks great.

Very nice.

lovely. pmed re stem and headset

@Vince - Hey! cheers, yeah I was after a ti 110mm 10degree but picked this one up cheap as it was poorly listed...

I've de-stickered the wheels a bit, any more and they'd look a bit boring, this way they match the bars! (which will be swapped to silver HWY1 when I've convinced my mate to switch ti stems!)

Aesthetically - I'd prefer to have all black paves on it, a people's arione 00 with the red stripe to match the frame and a cleaner looking ti seatpost, black or silver EE brakes and some black Cinelli Caleido tape, maybe SRAM red 22 - but that's for next summer...

@psee Cheers!
@bmx_fred Thank you!

yeah, I see this bike on my commute a lot. It's pretty sweet in the flesh.

@bitterbuffalo - are you one the fruit salad Neil Orrel?

yep

Nice! really like that bike, I'll say hi next time...

I remember when this popped in to Micycle - it looked good then, it looks awesome now :)
