Lynksey Titanium Sportive Disc

[LotusMartin]

I'm thinking of ordering the 2015 frame with internal Di2 - has anyone on here got the current one? This will be a forever bike for medium to long distance rides (100milers).

So many frames to choose from, I definitely want disc and ability to ride 25mm tyres with proper mudguards. I'm toying with getting the new shimano hydraulic road brakes (R785) but won't need to decide on that til Jan/Feb

Nope that's exactly the sort of information I'm looking for.

Many thanks

Just emailed them to ask if it's possible tobuild a helix disk with internal di2 and room for 28mm tyres with guards.

If you don't ask you never know lol

They can definitely build it, but I need to go through a distributer to get a cost - I have a feeling it could be a lot!

Will report back

£3800 apparently. for Helix disc with internal Di2 and slight increase in rear clearance - thats a hell of a premium over what is affectively a £2250 frame.

Might just wait until Feb and get the 2015 Helix disc when it comes out with internal di2 - save myself a few bob.

I love discs on my road bike, you're defini making the right choice there.

As a cheaper alternative a Genesis Equilibrium will do everything you want, and the Ti frameset isn't totally mental money either.

Can't see that in a disc compatible frameset though.

This is hopefully (or perhaps I'm just fooling myself!) the last bike I'll buy so aim to tick all the boxes regardless of price. I'd still like to be able to put some 28mm tyres on though for light towpath usage so might need to rethink.

Popped into East St cycles in Farnham and had a butchers at the Helix frame - it was gorgeous!!!

Has anyone ridden an Enigma Etape or Sabbath September (AR-1)? looks like both these are now being made with disc brakes. Not sure if they are Di2 ready though.

I think I might invest in a trip down to Enigma. Would rather buy British if I can.
