Bike porn

had exactly this chat about helix tubing on the 29er thread this weekend

smallfurry nailed it when he said they look like they have been crashed, and apart from lynskey's marketing department, no one else is convinced it makes the tubing stiffer

The stays look nice. Great little detail. If the Helix tube are so stiff and clever. Why does the R440 not have them?

I saw a custom Lynskey Pro 29er in a local MTB mag. It had a Helix downtube, but a standard (well curved for stanover) top tube. Looked so much better. Had an amazing paint job of tightly overlaping green leaves. Getting gradually more spread untill the front end was pure polished Ti. Proper porn.
