1540 for frame fork and headset with the paint job. It was an absolute steal in my opinion. Lynskey has a new level 3 houseblend coming out that is tweaked in some manner so I was able to snatch this up on a ridiculous closeout. It was about half as much as the other frames I was looking at. It was brand new with full warranty

I don't want to be the one to tell you this, but your frame seems to be on fire. Oh wait a second. 
Seriously - that is a great deal. You had better post some pix after it's together - or even better - when it's being built up! Nice.

You didn't happen to pick that up at George's in Boise did you?
They had one hanging on their wall that looked similar, when I went in there several weeks ago.

They had a closeout show frame on their site for about a month that I nearly snapped up. I'm jealous of whoever got it, and I'm jealous of you. Post build pics soon.

I'm probably going to just put my dura ace/Ultegra combo from my other bike on it. However, I may pick up a force kit to slap on it. The Sram Red is definitely out of my price range, but I really like the idea of trying out the force group. I had budgeted about 3 grand for my frameset, so spent less than I anticipated. My rationale is now I can blow that savings on a new group, and a set of wheels even though I originally said I would just swap my current components over.

To be honest, I don't love painted Ti. I would have preferred a nice shiny plain finish with a few decals. The reason I was able to get the bike for that price is that they were trying to get rid of it as is. The paint job is gorgeous, I think it was done by Kenny Reynolds. The pictures don't do it justice. I'm curious how it rides. The chain stays aren't as beefy as a Merlin, but the down tube is huge. The top tube is ovalized but not that big in diamater. I contacted Lynskey and told them that I was looking for an all rounder that is focused a little more on racing. The suggested the level 3 houseblend. I was told it should be more than stiff enough for someone 190 lbs. We will see.
