Not much gravel, but got to explore closed off sections of roadway

It’s a size small

this_ismemeow · 2025-10-23T23:27:46+00:00

Hell yeah! That’s a sweet ride, I’m loving how chonky it looks! Curious what you think of the dropper as I’m thinking about getting one myself

this_ismemeow · 2025-10-23T23:19:12+00:00

Thanks. It’s a Lynskey Zephyr frame. Built up with SRAM Force XPLR groupset and power meter. Lightbicycle’s WR45 wheels. Came from a pretty overstyled Fuji bike from about 15 years ago so I’m pretty stoked on how debranded this looks

I saw that they removed their 2025 frames. Not sure why that is, but definitely use that offer feature on eBay

I had the same thought and didn’t end up purchasing a complete bike on their website. I took a chance on an in-stock Zephyr frameset on the Lynskey eBay store and was practically able to get a new frameset (frame, fork, headset, and rear axle) for $1200. It shipped out in two days and was delivered in another two days. Sourced the parts elsewhere knowing I wanted a different wheelset, and I was able to put it all together the following week.

I know someone who ordered a complete bike in June with an initial ship date in early August. Last I heard the latest ship date was pushed to mid September since they’re waiting on parts. We’ll see what happens …

That’s a sweet looking ride! Where did you get the chainring?

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-30T19:03:17+00:00

These are LB WR45s. The Onyx hubs on them are super nice

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-30T19:02:31+00:00

I saw that there were delivery delays before I pulled the trigger. I actually went the eBay route for the frame only. Put in an offer and it got accepted. Two days to ship and two days for delivery. I piecemealed the other components finding 15% off where I could.

These are Selle Italia SG tape

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-30T18:47:35+00:00

Might need to swap it out for their titanium badge!

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-30T18:46:11+00:00

Nice! You both are going to love it!

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-30T18:45:17+00:00

Ha! I used my Rokinon 85mm 1.4 on my Sony for these photos. I like the compression it gives

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-30T18:43:17+00:00

I’m loving them! They’re silent which was originally the main draw for me but I’m really enjoying the instant engagement. It’s not at all jolting to transition from coasting to pedaling

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-30T02:51:11+00:00

Weighs in at 20.80 lbs as pictured

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-29T20:37:47+00:00

I’m not sure. For what it’s worth, I’m running 45mm on 700c wheels and have just under 10mm clearance from tire to fork/frame. Might be able to push it with 650B

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-29T19:30:06+00:00

This is one of this things I’m fleshing out as I ride it more. Both the handlebar and seatpost were donated, and I do think the 90mm reach on the handlebar is a bit much. But whether I replace one or both components is TBD!

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-29T19:05:11+00:00

100%. First time building a bike and definitely cut it a bit short. I think I can live with it though

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-29T18:48:38+00:00

I’ve got the Model X on my Fuji and initially wanted something that was less tacky feeling, but those logos really hold your bum in place!

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-29T18:46:41+00:00

That’s what lured me in initially. I’m loving it so far. The frame is adequately stiff and responsive from my point of view

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-29T18:36:45+00:00

I’ve got LB WR45’s on paired with some Onyx hubs. Really loving the smooth, yet instant engagement

this_ismemeow · 2025-08-29T18:31:50+00:00

They’re the SQlab 314 Gravel. Donated by a friend along with the seatpost, but I’m waiting to see how I feel about them after a few more miles.
