I ride a Lynskey-made Litespeed Vortex, and I believe that it really will be the last bike I will ever buy (barring bike-ending crashes or component non-availability, which may force me to update). It's light-ish, comfortable, and fits me well - even after 14 years of ownership (frame is 17 years old), I still marvel at how pretty it is. Ti is a splendid material - light, strong and corrosion- and fatigue-resistent. Pretty much the only thing that goes wrong with Ti frames is weld failure, so if you buy from an experienced builder (and Lynskey are like the OG Ti builder), you really can't go wrong.
