Another n+1......

So I've got a BMC Team Elite 2 ( 'commuterised') which I almost never ride, and a Cannondale SuperSix Evo HM which I ride a lot. Both were bought secondhand and, as such, didnt cost too much ( ie evo frame cost $1000). I am very tempted by a Lynskey Ti bike , in my size, a bit of a Frankenstein build ( sorry to the owner if they read this) in that it has a mix of Di2 Ultegra, DA crank, Tektro brakes, reynolds wheels.I've never had a Ti frame and so I'd like one!Other than being a bit tougher than my Evo, is it going to be any 'better'.its a Helix BTW.
Basically I just want it, but I certainly dont need it!I think I can justify it by selling the BMC.....

It's Ti = It's better

Purely biased of course... saw it come up on my feed. Also thought the brakes were a strange choice.

All reports are that the Helix is a great bike... but the aesthetics of the twist just don't do it for me. Just looks odd.

Once you get an urge for Ti there's no going back to plastic

100%+ agree with mmc22
Go Lynskey Ti & you'll never regret it!
My R230 is like riding a silk cushion & is the kind of bike to keep forever.
The groupset, bits & pieces can always be changed over time.

First ride today. Superb frame and I love UI2. I was faster and more comfortable. Goodbye evo!
