I also had (more later) a Cervelo R3 with all carbon components and nice wheels that was 2 lbs lighter than the Lynskey, but last summer I chose the Lynskey instead for the Ride the Rockies tour that included lots of climbing at high altitude.I just like riding it that much better. I traded in the Cervelo for the Backroad frame. Can't wait to ride it!
I am anxious to see yours come together. I hope you'll do a thread on it. I like the titanium experience so well that my Carbon Tarmac is getting sent down the road to make room for a Litespeed T6 that was on closeout. At this stage of my life comfort is much more important than any other factor.
