I was lucky it was pretty much my size (if I had gone full custom, I would have spec'd a taller headtube). This bike was built with some pretty seriously oversized tubing in the main triangle, but the seatstays are very thin - to the point that people regularly comment on them.

lemondzurich, that is a sweet looking frame! I like the integrated headtube! Just curious. What size frame is it?

Call me crazy even with these close ups but I still can't completely tell exactly the tube shapes of the Cooper. Sometimes they look diamondy, sometimes they look round. The light always seems to hit them at the edge... but close up... i don't know...
What shapes are the top and down tubes?
Is there a ride quality difference between straight gauge and butted titanium? cause the price difference is huge considering a small weight savings.

I am not sure casual riders can differentiate the difference between the Cooper and the butted tubes used in the higher-end Lynskey models.

Its a rounded diamond shape for both top and bottom. Ride for 100km so far, and its a good ride. Feels good. Will give more detail once i have enough mileage on it

Well, I've finally gotten some decent pix of the Lynskey R330 that I've had for about a month and a half now. My apologies for the dirty garage door backgrounds. I had to borrow someone else's door. 
Got the base fall special package from Lynskey: natural brushed frame with Alpha Q GS-10 carbon fork, Cane Creek headset.
Campy Chorus 11 groupset
Campy Eurus wheels
Deda Newton stem and handlebar
Lynskey Ti seatpost
Fizik Arione saddle
Challenge Criterium tires (I'm not crazy about the tan color, but it's what the LBS had in stock that would fit the wheels. Once these wear out, I'll go with either red stripe or just plain black.)
The ride is great. I'm totally loving the bike. I have only ridden with Ultegra before. I definitely like the Campy components. The Campy hoods feel great in bare hands. I've decided not to wear gloves whenever practical.

I am trying to make up my mind between mixing the ti frame with silver components and brown saddle/tape, or black components and tape and white saddle. Your bike looks pretty much like the first option... and it's SOOOO HOT!!! Could you please post more pics, specially a side view? That would really help making up my mind.
Thanks!

Nice looking IBIS !! That's what I love about Ti bikes..You would never know that bikes 12 years old....I bought a Lynskey last year, and while it's a tad below the comfort of my carbon bike, and slightly heavier, it's close enough that I'm selling the carbon bike....Post a pic of yours PCAD !!

Zinn Dolomite Ti - custom built for my 6'7" 275lb frame. 210mm cranks and raised BB to handle that.
It's tall guy heaven!
