I have a Lynskey-made Planet X. The Geo is very close to the Sportive. This was a budget build for me, I plan to keep the bike forever and upgrade the drivetrain & wheels as I go along. I already have installed a Ultegra SL compact that I use for hilly rides, this is a great looking crank that matches the Ultegra SL brakes.
The 50t & 39 t standard crankset pictured is ideal for flat rides near home. The two cranks swap-out in 10 minutes w/o any F-D adjustment needed.

The Sportive should be a great long distance bike. Stiff enough for climbing, yet comfortable.
