Give Forrest a ring, great guy to work with.


I haven't had the pleasure of riding any of your shortlisted machines. All I know for certain is the same stuff I read as you. Email all of them, see who replies and how quickly. When I was shopping last spring--I was unimpressed at how long it took some companies to answer queries...Carver got back to me within 24 hours every time IIRC, the Carver GG is sourced from Lynskey actually.


All frames can crack....But steel can rust, particularly when it lives a rough life.

My bone to pick with the Lynskey GR...they don't need to use 6/4 titanium. It is just upping the price, drastically. If they used the same shaped tubing set in 3/2.5 they could get almost certainly get the same ride.
