Lynskey Backroad size ML frame with CF fork
This is not my sell. I got an email alert on this tourer which looks like a good deal presently at $565 shipped, but won't end at that price with 100 people watching auction. Condition appears to be excellent. CF fork is not front rack capable, and Al steerer tube has been cut pretty short. A 700c Surly Disc Trucker fork (~$110 new) will work with 390mm axle-to-crown distance. Takes good ole 100/135mm QR wheels, 51mm IS brake calipers and up to 700x45 tires. Seller has some cheap 32h wheels for sale too.

I am using the 700c LHT rim brake fork on my Lynskey Backroad, thus mine is disc in back and rim brake in front. My fork is from 2004.
I paid over $900 for my Backroad frame from the company in an Ebay listing.
If anyone on this board gets it, I suggest you remove the little screws in each rear dropout and apply loctite (or comparable brand removable) threadlocker. If those screws vibrate loose like one did on mine, it can cause you a real headache.
