Have the Lynskey but am thinking about getting the Parlee. Thoughts?

When I find good deals i cant pass them up. I have had a hard time with my back on themy OS and was considering a tall headtube bike. I usually have 2 or 3 frames on my basement at all times.

I'm envious. I'm obviously biased toward the Lynskey, but that's because I'm eagerly awaiting my first to be delivered. Good luck with your decision...and enjoy whatever you end up with!

Have you ridden a Parlee? Myself, I would prefer the Parlee but everyone is different. However, if you already own the Lynskey then I would stick with it unless it isn't working. You would lose some value reselling a used bike.

I have no idea why this is an either or question if you usually have a few at ny given time. Get the Parlee and ride both, sell one of your other bikes. If you find that you don't ride one much, sell it later.
