at one point I would’ve said Lynskey without hesitation. I ride a Lynskey-era Litespeed and it’s fantastic, and I think Litespeed lost their way a little post-takeover, expanding into CF frames that, to me at least, looked like slapping the LS brand on no-name frames. However, if I was in the market now, I think I’d give both a good look. Lynskey is a known quantity, to me at least, and I have a certain loyalty, given that they made my current ride. But Litespeed’s current lineup looks pretty good, and the prices compare well. My biggest ding against LS was their embrace of press-fit BBs, but they offer a T47 option (at a price), so that makes them more palatable to me.
