Of those that have owned multiple Ti bikes from famous builders, can anybody comment who makes the best riding frame overall? Seven, Lynskey, Litespeed, Moots? Somebody else?
Any Ti addicts here who owned most of the above and have an opinion and can perhaps even posit why one maker gets it right over another?
Thanks
PS: I toy with building up a Ti bike...
There is a Moots on ebay right now. A 58cm tall. Pretty remarkably it shares virtually identical geometry to the 58cm Roubaix I ride also with a 120mm stem. I would consider buying it, but it isn't exactly what I would prefer in terms of groupset and wheels and so I would end up changing it anyway. Also the Lynskey R265...an endurance geometry, triple butted Ti available right off the rack has almost identical stack and reach to the bike below for less money:

Question is...if going Ti, who makes the best?...understanding this is a very subjective question but perhaps somebody has experience with different brands with an opinion.
Moots on ebay presently with 58cm Roubaix geometry for those interested:
