    Crust or Lynskey?


    I’m looking at upgrading from my 2019 Jamis Renegade Expat this winter and am looking at either a Crust Bombora Enve or a Lynskey GR300.

    I have been pretty happy with the fit on my size 56 Jamis and have a very comfortable position so I would like to replicate that as much as possible. Looking at the geo charts it seems like both frames are relatively similar to the Jamis but the Lynskey has more of a sloping tt.

    I have only ever ridden aluminum and steel frames so I’m curious of titanium, especially with the discounts Lynskey has right now, but I’m also wondering if the crust frame will be much of a difference in tubing to notice from my Jamis.

      I got a Crust bike, (not a Bombora) because I liked the brand as a whole. It felt more me, coming from growing up skateboarding etc, just their whole vibe is what attracted me to them. So, that’s why I went with them. I’ve put more miles on it than any other bike I’ve had because of how hyped I am on it, and it’s just different and unique. Not that there’s anything wrong with a Lynksey, but the Bombora just has more uniqueness I guess and a heck of a lot more customizable.

      Either will be perfectly functional, but the Lynsky is a much better value. Crust has a bit of a cult following, but unless style and appearance is a major criteria, it’s pretty hard to justify the price tag for a basic steel frame. You can find much cheaper steel frames that are the same thing as Crust, and it might even be a bit of a downgrade from the Jamis.
