I might not be completely correct, but pretty sure that the Lynskey brothers were the ones who started Lightspeed. So any of the old Lightspeeds, or early Merckx Ti bikes (Ti Ax/Ex, not the Majestic) were made by the Lynskeys.

I have to urge people to stop talking up the Lynskey bikes or, because of my impulse buying habit, I know I will buy one

RDV4ROUBAIX said:brewerjeff,
I'm currently in the process of selling off my 2 vehicles and very possibly consolidating to a Transit Connect. A couple questions; I see that the back seats in the wagon version can fold forward, but are they easy to remove if need be? What was your rational for getting the wagon instead of the cargo version for your biz, wouldn't the cargo have made more sense in your case? MPG says 22 cty/25 hwy, but what's your actual when loaded? What's the difference between XL and XLT versions? Impossible to find the difference on the Ford site for some reason.

Roland Rat said:I thought last night I could do with one of those. Funnily enough that thought came about 2 seconds after a stupid bee-atch in a Seat Leon from the opposite direction turned right, across me, without indicating and missing me by a matter of inches while doing her make-up. If I'd had a camera I'd be straight down to see the po-leece.

Road Hazard said:On test recording 1, did you speed up the video at all? At the beginning you are walking towards the bike and in a matter of milliseconds, your on it and then we hear the two clicks of cleats in pedals in rapid succession. That's the quickest clip in I've ever seen.
Video is pretty good quality.
