Your 'Dale was racing geometry and lay up so it would be stiff, the Litespeed is what I understand to be endurance designed and built. Glad to hear you are transferring those wheels to the Litespeed, smart move.
I need a envy smilie right now, that would be a super grail/last bike. Post lots of pics when you have the time please.

My Litespeed will be 17 yeas old next month. It has a tear drop shaped top tube and down tube. It is 3/2 titanium.
The Lynskey has a helix top tube and seat stays (according to what I read on the site). Not sure about the other tubes. The top, down and seat tubes are 6/4 titanium but the rest is 3/2 I believe.
The Litespeed is traditional/classical geometry with a perfectly horizontal top tube.
They're still having the sale if you want one.
