I just bought my first Titanium frame after having owned Aluminum and carbon bikes. I bought a Helix Sport frame from Lynskey and built it up the way I wanted. I understood the geometry enough to be able to know which size bike was best for me, but also discussed at length with Lynskey. At the end of the day, this is the first bike that I build instead of buying off a rack. I don't know that the ride is way better or worse than other materials, I think they all serve a purpose; however, I can tell you that no other bike has made me this happy to ride. Whether it be because of ride quality, cosmetic appeal, or the fact that I selected every component on there....I personally think it's the bees knees.
