"Fortunately, my friends and I are guys that like to ride bikes" - Fixed it for you

The Lynskey R230 is more of a classic and forgiving geometry. Is should be your first choice if you find one that fits you. One of the nice things about metal frames compared to carbon fiber frames is they generally come in more sizes for a given model so it can be easier to find 'the perfect size'.
The Litespeed Tachyon is a Tri bike, the geometry isn't really suited to JRA IMO.
