Anyone Know About Ride Quality Lynskey R150 or R250

Any Lynskey owners out there that can weigh in on how an R150 rides? Is it compliant, stiff, noodle, BB flex when under load, etc. you get the idea. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I have a 240. Lynskey steered me away from the old equivalent of the current 150. Said the 150 would be noodly for me (I am 6'4", 200 pounds). 240 has been a terrific bike. I was grateful for their advice. Also have a version of their Helix with the 6/4 triangular top tube. Stiffer, tighter bike but less comfortable than the 240. Hope this helps.

I have an R240 that I bought last year. I really like it and I have been thru a lot of bikes. I was previously on a Serotta TI frame that cracked but my LBS made me an offer I couldn't pass up.

The R240 is a good combination of TI qualities and stiffness. I ride it with 25mm tires and it feels very good. My personal opinion is that Lynskey's offer a lot of value per dollar. Look at roadbikereview.com and their are a lot of positive reviews. I look at this frame as a lifetime frame as it should last a long time and Lynskey backs it up if there is an issue.

PM me with questions etc

I think they describe their frames well on their web site.....showing uses frame made for.....frame dimensions, etc. Good site.
