I think @FarkinRyan is who you want to be pagin...Looks like Vorsprung may have a coil conversion on the way
or have a look on their farcebook site. they seem to be pretty active there.
I'm sold.
Fezzari La Sal Peak

Only thing I'm not seeing mentioned is ability to mount a bash of some sort. I like it can take two bottles in the frame, not many full sussers have that ability.

Any chance of running it without HBO? Never was in need of it on my Van 36 with the upgrade inverted RC2.
How about waiting to see how it works and how effective it is before dissing it?
That would be way too sensible.

Frames are made in Taiwan (hence the competitive price), very good geo, very little lizard influence, not bad AS and LR....will see how it performs soon, got an ML in blue waiting for some parts to complete.

Gorgeous!
I'm holding up for the Zing! brand.Gorgeous!
I know that look is everything but if someone needs opinions about how bikes look, there are many other forums like PB and MTBR... 
Whoa whoa, this is Ridemonkey, we only care about the look of leverage curves generated in linkage based on pictures we found on the internet.I know that look is everything but if someone needs opinions about how bikes look, there are many other forums like PB and MTBR...
Oddly enough the front end would be more interesting to look at in Linkage than the rear.True.
I like this one.
It's adjustable, so you could always run it with the adjuster full open and get very little effect from the bottom out system. TFTuned already have a straight spring-only conversion without any kind of bottom out control if that's what you're after.
nice titanium bikepacking frame with pinion gearbox and belt drive:

Do you work at Zinn?I know that look is everything but if someone needs opinions about how bikes look, there are many other forums like PB and MTBR...
I jumped on the Lynskey site after looking at the Zinns because they always made some hideous looking things and saw the Ridgeline, I can't see the reach measurement but a 65deg HA is pretty insane for a Lynskey!

For the 36? Are you sure? I can't find it on their website. All I can find is the Pike coil conversion kit and the PUSH 36 ACS3.
I wonder if X-Fusion Vengeance coil bits could be used in the 36? Could be a shitload cheaper.
Yeah sorry, pretty sure they are Pike only.
@HardtailHack there are likely a number of ways you could pull of a home coil conversion using some off the shelf parts and some you made or sourced yourself from other places. There are parts from current coil boxxers and old coil Lyriks that could theoretically be used as the basis for a similar DIY conversion on a Pike/Lyrik chassis, but despite some of the parts clipping straight in you would still need to do a fair bit of legwork to end up with a working fork.
When you just can't bring yourself to use two short links because you need to be different... here it is undisguised:
The reach wars continue. A full 2cm longer in each size than my current Nomad.
Not a huge fan of the big carbon plane above the lower link.

But will it save Rude from flats?
Not enough rear squish I reckon.

Yup, even in the totally impromptu spy shots. So here is the BB section in all its glory:I like how they tried to hide how far forward the frame protuberate with the crank arm!
Ackward framdesign - but hey, yout get your bottlemount.
On the other hand they were actually able to get a properly steep seat tube angle.
and i thought the BB area on my nomad looked awkward . . . that looks prime for extra added bonus smashing into rox . . . if only there was a way to make more room above the bb in the seat tube area . . . hmmmmYup, even in the totally impromptu spy shots. So here is the BB section in all its glory:
So room for a fucking water bottle trumps rocks clearance in their wishlist. Awesome how much crap we still carry on from the days of separation from road biking.
In 2018, using a Camelbak is a giant fashion faux pas.
Thankfully, the likes of Camelbak have come up with more fashionable and practical solutions for self concious riders like me.
Perhaps they know their dentists customers? You can't smash into rox that you don't smash into.
