Awesome! I dig the extreme position too, that’s quite a drop from saddle to bars.
That thing is gorgeous. I love a Ti bike, and still dream of being able to afford a Litespeed road bike.

Yeah, I tried and it works for me. Thanks to Bjorn who inspired many…
Extremely sick looking ride.
How long can you stay down on that DropZilla setup? My balls would go simultaneously numb with accompanying neck cramps and back spasms o n that thing.
Find a gold chain for that bad boy. That is a really good looking bike.
Ti guy, chiming in 
jez, would you look at those welds !
nice ride, but your seat is too low 
Beautiful!
That’s one nice looking rig! I love the way it fits the USE aero carbon post. Custom for sure!
imagine what the speed concept would look like in ti.
only in my dreams :).
ti may not be aero, but it damn sure looks the best.
Well Done.
That’s probably the most elegant looking machine I have seen on this forum.
It is a shame that you will likely end up riding it and getting it dirty.
damn that is tasty. Nokon cables looking hot in black and digging the naked wheels. VERY VERY NICE.
Ceramics in the Der. Pulleys, baller!
Nice Build.
this is a very stylish bike (and i do mean this seriously - this is probably one of the few Ti tri bikes i’ve seen that isn’t ugly as hell).
just out of curiosity, did they screw up the frame’s stack - and that’s why you’re left with a -30 degree stem?
and on a separate note, reynolds forks are not very aero (although reynolds ouzo pro forks are the bomb diggity, ya hear?) – come on, get something like an fk26 or a 3t funda 
The Funda isn’t faster than the Reynolds. You’ve got absolutely no idea what you are talking about. That tidbit o’ knowledge cost me $389.

clearly i sound wise beyond my years via the internet. that makes up for any lack of knowledge about the aerodynamic properties of forks.
did you spend that $390 in the windtunnel, or do you have a link to a study on the topic?
Fantastic bike. Those welds are amazing.
I spent $389 buying a 1 1/8" 3T Funda fork to test against my Reynolds (of which I have several).
Dimensionally, the Reynolds is better, and more importantly, it was faster in all of my field tests.

If someone could figure out mass production of these, I’d be interested in owning model #2.
That’s a beauty. Are those the original graphics that came on the bike or did you get after market graphics?
Thanks everybody for good words. I’ve built a dozen of bikes and put into this one most of my time and soul. Many titanium bikes went through my hands - Litespeed Ghisallo, Saber, Blade, Tachyon, etc. This bike is the best combination of look, technology, aerodynamics and ride quality. Thanks Lynskey who made frame building an art. I just put some final touches…
I’ll try to comment/answer the posts made so far.
- Drop from the top of the seat to top or aerobar elbow pads is 22 cm. Back is not a problem if you hava a tri geometry bike. I don’t sit on balls and Bodyglide is enough to survive. I believe, the biggest problem for many is neck. It’s funny to watch pros riding in aero helmets head down - they might be more aerodynamic in a $20 regular helmet. I’m commuting to work 25+ miles every day on a very aggresive bike and my neck got used to extreme position. The longest ride so far - 110 miles.
- Gold chain is not in my plans. Titanium - may be. For now I’m happy with 9 speed Dura Ace chain.
- Yes, I also consider this bike the most elegant I’ve seen so far. This bike will be used mostly for racing - I have Litespeed Blade 2006 for training. Cleaning titanium bike is not problem.
- Enduro Zero ceramics in pulleys, bottom bracket and both hubs. Loose ceramic balls are also in pedals.
- I consider Reynolds Ouzo Pro Aero as one of the best aero and good looking forks. It’s not flushy like many and aerodynamics is still one of the best. It was enough said about Funda. This fork is also beating Oval Jetstream and Alpha Q aero forks (http://www.biketechreview.com/aerodynamics/forks/460-do-aero-forks-work). Please let me know if you find another fork beating Reynolds Ouzo Pro Aero by more than 15 sec on a 40K course. BTW I’ve pulled this fork from eBay for just $50…
- Length of the head tube and headset (Cane Creek AER) is just 13 cm. The stem is not -30 - it is actually -40.
- The Speed Concept will look very close to Litespeed Blade. Lynskey is still very aero and geometry fits me perfect. The rider drag is by far more critical than frame aerodynamics and I pretty much doubt that a Speed Concept bike will give more than 10-15 sec adventag over 40K.
- I doubt this bike will go into mass production - too expensive to produce. Just look what happened with mass production of titanium Litespeed or Roo bikes…
- There is no need in after market graphics - Lynskey has superb finishing - brushing, polishing, different colors decals, etching (standard, custom), exotic painting, ti enhancements. etc. I’ve ordered black outline decals from Lynskey and applied them after finishing the frame.
I should add also that Lynskey customer service is exceptional - very friendly and professional.
Fantastic!
I, too, would have built it with an Reynolds ouzo pro aero and an Azoto (like on my Blade) … perfect component selection.
