As mentioned earlier, Twenty Nine Inches will be doing a long term test/review of the Lynskey Performance Pro 29. First off, I should make everyone aware that the 2010 Pro 29 comes as you see here and covers the geared and single speed applications that riders may choose between. No vertical drop version will be offered unless you order up a custom version, which Lynskey is quite capable of doing. Speaking of custom, you can get a Pro 29 with a Lefty compatible head tube, a BB-30 compatible bottom bracket, or even with press fit bottom bracket bearings, all done up in several different finish levels for an up charge. Full custom levels are also available. We are taking a look at the “Houseblend” Pro 29 here, but believe me, this is no ordinary “house” type of fare here! Let’s take a look……


Obviously, the first visual cue is the Helix top and down tubes used on the 2010 Pro model 29″er. Previously to 2010, Lynskey employed a bellied top tube for lower stand over clearance. However; for 2010, Mark Lynskey explains that he wanted to increase the stiffness of the main triangle, so the Helix tubes were put into service to do the job.
