I have been riding a Lynskey for a few years now and love it. That said, I think that the bike manufacturers have hit on CF as an easier, cheaper material to mass produce. Plus in the last few years, CF has added a lot of variations in size and shape allowing for new geometry and paint schemes on the frames. Looking around, my brushed silver Ti bike really fades out when around all the Orbeas, Treks and other CF bikes with gaudy paint jobs. It sort of depends on your attitude. I like to fly below the radar rather than screaming look at me.
