Henrik's Custom Titanium Lynskey

Henrik designed his Level 2 Lynskey Custom Ti frame and bike as retro ride with a modern twist. The guy really put some thought into this; and it shows, from the style and color to the Chinese characters representing his name on the top tube.



He requested that the famed Reynolds brothers match the brown on the frame to the brown of the Velocity bottle cage and Aerohead rims. The light Carolina blue frame paint matches the center stripe of the light blue Michelin Pro 2 Race tires. The Wheelgirl hand-built wheelset should make a fast-touring-cycle-training-Ultimate-frisbee-playing athlete really happy. The black Chris King classic road hubs match the black Chris King headset. The race-ready frame has subtle braze-ons for a rear rack and a pump peg, if a fast touring adventure presents itself.



The bike sports a 10-speed, Ultegra triple groupset and a Ritchey build kit. The Reynolds Ouzo Pro steerer will get cut after the stem height is confirmed by some hours of riding. Then, the bars will get wrapped in Carolina blue Deda cork bar tape.



If you have ever seen Chinese characters on a top tube of a custom Ti bike, please drop us a line. Building up gorgeous one-of-a-kind bikes never gets tiring.
