Strengths: Great balance between stiff/responsive, (especially in high-speed corners) and compliant for a long ride.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: The frame is beautifully executed, straight and true -- makes for easy build up. The ride is even better, smooth and responsive. Definitly encourages all day in the saddle rides.

Strengths: Great craftmanship. My frame is very well made! The bike is light and very functional for hill climbs, decents, and comfortable on long rides.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: My Lynskey frame is great combination of superb performance, light weight, durability, and appearance. The weight of the frame was exactly as advertised, which is a rarity in a bicycle part. As a certified aerospace material inspector (American Society of Nondestructive Testing Level III, and National Aerospace Standard 410 Level III) I can appreciate the very high quality of the weld and finish work my frame. The welds are visually very smooth and consistent, with no irregularities on any of the welds. So much so that the weld starts and stops are not detectable.
On the finish, mine has the etched letters. I love the subtlety of it. Titanium is beautiful, tuff, and durable. The polish work is great, no cheap plastic look with Ti. Titanium is the gold standard for a bike frame in appearance. Why buy a plastic frame and worry about bottom brackets that crack, compressive strength after impact, or other durability issues when for a similar price you can buy Titanium. The brass headtube badge is really elegant. This bike is definitely stands out in the sea of plastic and aluminum bikes.
This bike is confortable, agile on climbs and decents.
The bike built up to a weight of less than fifteen pounds including pedals, clincher wheels, cages, and a pump!
