For: The serious competitor or recreational rider who wants the ultimate riding experience -- among the stiffest frames available in any material, combined with the durability and the svelte ride of 3Al-2.5V titanium. The stiffness-enhancing BB30 bottom bracket is either already part of the design, or available for an additional $500. Your tubing set: Spiral shaped tubes make these Lynskey's stiffest 3Al-2.5V frames ever. Helix competition-tuned rear triangle.
Compare: Houseblend R440 6Al-4V For: The serious competitor -- BB30 option available for an additional $500. Your tubing set: 6Al-4V/3Al-2.5V oversize titanium/double-triple butting/Force Vector specific shaping (diamond shaped). 6Al-4V is used for the top and down tubes; the rest is 3Al-2.5V, including an oversize head tube. Helix competition-tuned rear triangle. An R440 customer is willing to sacrifice some ride quality -- the 6/4 titanium alloy uses twice as much aluminum as 3/2.5, so it feels more like an aluminum frame.Road compare: Litespeed Archon
For: A weekend warrior, century rider, or woods rider who wants a lightweight, all-day ride. Enhance the stiffness of one of these frames with a BB30 bottom bracket for an additional $500, and you have an elite-level racing frame that competes with carbon for performance, with the unmatched durability and ride quality of titanium. Your tubing set: Double and triple-butted 3Al-2.5V titanium alloy (ovalized top and down tubes for enhanced stiffness). R340 has Helix seatstays.

For: The performance rider or competitor who has champagne taste and a beer budget. Most use straight-gauge tubing (Cooper, Cooper CX, Ridgeline), but the Sportive and the T230 do use butted tubing sets. BB30 option not available. Your tubing set: Straight-gauge 3Al-2.5V titanium, with 1.375" seat and 1.75" down tube for stiffness.
