I have a Lynskey R320 and only have great things to say about it. I had a specialized e5 before it and that was a great bike as well. The people who say Ti isn't stiff make me laugh. The r320 is very stiff. I think where Ti loses is in the stiffness to weight department. I'm sure an ultra light Ti frame may be flexy, but the R320 is around 1100 grams and is plenty stiff. The Lynskey has also survived two horrible race crashes. One of which required surgery to put me back together again. The frame was inspected and is damn near perfect other than a couple scratches. I often check out carbon wonder bikes, and will probably own one one day, but I can't imagine parting with the lynskey right now. Additionally, I've always lusted after after an S1 or Soloist. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.
