You can't go wrong with Lynskey. They're very high quality. But be sure you get a bike that is comfortable. I have a Lemond Ti frame, and it is a nimble road racing frame. It's not ideal for me because it's a little too small for me, and the biggest tires I can fit are 25mm wide. I'm not sure I'll enjoy taking it on a long ride, but I haven't tried it yet. I think it would be less fatiguing to ride 32mm tires which I have on other bikes of mine (made of steel). The light weight is a terribly nice thing, though, and it's also nice that being made of metal, it's not likely to shatter on impact. I didn't pay much for the frame, as I got it used, so I'm not complaining.
