All the FSA stuff should go. It doesn't work for a bike that nice. I would go Praxis for cranks.

That bike will be fine with fenders from here. Boulder Bicycle is a dealer, as well.

I also think it's kinda BS Lynskey spec'd it out with FSA, if you bought the full bike and not the frameset. Why would they do that on such a nice frameset? Well, we know why.

Why do you need permanent fenders on a bike that nice when it's nice and sunny out? And why the front fender? Too much fender.
The bike wants to be sexy. |

I always approve of titanium content. Keep it coming.
Someone on ST is selling a Ti tri bike, full-custom Litespeed. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ddb4f750a.jpeg |

Those prices, though. :( |

It's my everyday commuter and occasional hardback/gravel bike. I like a clean bike and hate partial fenders. The saddle is actually my favorite among the three I'm currently using. Maybe I should move it to the trainer. It now has an unsightly gash on the left side from the hit back in January. The cranks are FSA Gossamer junk.

The bike wants to be sexy. And well-fitted fenders can definitely be sexy. Don't make me post my Trek again. I'l do it! |

Hi! What's this thread about?

It's OK for the Puch and Trek. Not for Mo's bike.
Hey Mo - how long is your commute and do you ride in the winter? |

I can't believe Praxis cranks are take-offs now like FSA has always been. That's the way to go.

Enve made it for them. Between the frameset and Ardennes, you have a solid start.
I assume it was custom. Why didn't you make the HT taller? |

Just to up the ti bikes in here so far, my new Lynskey. When they have their clearance sales, prices become very affordable. |

Kudos on the proper radius and centering.
It's one of those things that I really take a lot of time to make sure is right, and afterwards I take a lot of pride in. It's even harder with the skinwall tires since there's a very distinctive visual reference so close. |
