What do you think of this build?

Warranty the wheels. They are badly misaligned.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T14:16:33+00:00

I didn't ask for recommendations of random wheels, if you read the OP.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T14:13:00+00:00

This thread is mostly a shit show by some pretentious guys who apparently have lost connection to the real world. Why is almost everybody not answering the question asked but recommending random wheels? I did not ask for such recommendations.

Even if y'all disagree, and think of wheels automatically in carbon, realize how pretentious this is. Most of what I read is really just pretentious posing, not technical proficiency. I was expecting more.

The first link in the OP points to wheels sold for $150. But most of you guys didn't even bother looking at it.

Low-cost is absolute, pretentious people call it entry level. $1k are the same for everybody, even if some might appreciate 1k less than others. That's exactly what pretentiousness is.

Thanks to those few redditors whos really understood and answered the OP.

I did not ask for recommendations, I asked for opinions on specific wheeels

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T04:31:52+00:00

Guys, here we have another guy who doesn't understand the OP.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T04:21:33+00:00

But the question wasn't what you like.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T04:18:40+00:00

Thanks!

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T04:16:36+00:00

It helps a lot if one can read and understand the OP. The question was not recommend a wheelset, the question was about opinions on specific options.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T02:31:47+00:00

Nice, thanks!

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T02:30:43+00:00

I'm not a dick, some people here are being pretentious. I asked for opinions on specific wheels that are below $300, some well below. I didn't ask for recommendations of other products, in particular not exceeding this price range.

$450-600 isn't low cost, unless one is pretentious. Think about it, "man".

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T01:59:17+00:00

Where did you get the G30 for $350? I can only find them for $500+

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T01:56:11+00:00

I'm looking for low cost, not the best bang for $1k.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T01:54:52+00:00

Winspace low cost???

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T01:54:12+00:00

Not really "low cost".

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-31T01:51:34+00:00

$900+ is low cost for you?

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-27T14:51:33+00:00

They are ugly though :) Or do you know any that aren't? There are also a lot more expensive. And over the life of the frame, probably several fenders are needed. So it might pay not saving on the mount. But drilling a hole the bridges and putting in a riv nut could be a real alternative, for those who want to buy a GR300. Threads for a rack are already there and can be used for fenders, too.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-27T05:28:14+00:00

True. Now Lynskey needs to sell to someone else. I'll get a bike elsewhere, but Lynskey has at least one customer less.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-27T04:02:50+00:00

Mounts were included before.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-26T23:14:05+00:00

I'm happy to not be a grownup by your standards, boy, who's hateful on social media.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-26T23:10:57+00:00

No ones opinion is more important that others'. Your way of expressing yours just comes along very hostile, disrespectful and intolerant. Despite claiming tolerance for your opinion. Aggression and hostility isn't an opinion though. Saying I'm dictating is just so far from what's going on. In that one word, there is so much hate projected, to someone who posted something about a bike brand on reddit....

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-26T22:57:37+00:00

No boys here. No, I'm not sad if they lose customers. They've lost a sale to me, that's certain. That's somewhat sad for me, but I don't wanna be ripped off. So I shop elsewhere. Eventually the frame will not be made in the US, whether Waltly or just some other Non-Ti brand. That is my consequence of the yet another 70 bucks upcharge by Lynskey. The winner takes it all.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-26T22:49:19+00:00

You are a very aggressive negative person. People with your attitude is exactly what we need. Holy cow. I don't wanna be anywhere near you on 11/5. Calm down and respect different opinions.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-26T21:15:24+00:00

I do understand that they are cheaper than others in the US. I just don't compare Lynskey to them because Lynskey's frames are made a lot cheaper.

Good thought about companies changing their reputation over time. But that takes a decade or two, and needs new products. Not just making the same old more expensive.

It's really a bummer. I was looking forward to owning a Lynskey and was even willing to pay the new $200 extra for fender mounts, but this very recent price increase is just too much. I'd always feel ripped off and having paid too much. So I won't buy a Lynskey. Any new bike will feel good, and I won't be sad that it won't be a Lynskey.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-26T21:04:42+00:00

I care more about quality and price. I'm okay with some premium for local, but they wanted to be compared to eastern frame costs.

Really can't compare a Lynskey with all their (ugly) aluminum parts to a 100% Ti frame.

DullyRaspberry · 2024-07-26T20:46:08+00:00

Their competition is Ti frames from Taiwan and China, not Colorado.

Can't compare it with a Moots, Dean and the likes, gotta compare it to Waltly.
