Paul, I did not bother to quote your four postings here, but responding to them in order.
1. Agree their website is not that friendly. In my case, I had an Ebay posting so they knew exactly what they already had ready to ship to me, as the frame as it sat was what I was buying. But they posted the incorrect photos on Ebay. I suspect most Lynskey buyers that are spending that much are having a bike shop build the bike for them. And the bike shops likely have all the various options already in stock. So, they probably are used to dealing with bike shops that can install either kind of brake, etc.
2. If the issue is only bolts, I would not worry about that. M6 bolts are readily available at the hardware store. I usually use stainless but those bolts might need more strength so the black coated steel bolts might be a better idea.
3. You are welcome.
4. Mine is a 160. When I first contacted Lynskey (by e-mail through the Ebay system) I told them that I had already bought the 160 mm post mount brake because that would fit based on their photos. So, when they sent me the post mount adapter, they knew that I needed one for that size. I have no clue if they make different post mounts for different disc sizes. The adapter that my brake is attached to I believe is Aluminum and not Titanium. It has that bright silver look to it instead of the darker gray of Titanium. That is not an important issue, just thought I would mention it.
Which finish did you get? Mine is Industrial Mill.
Did you get a dyno hub or a regular hub? I got a dynohub, headlight, etc.
