I thought the quality of the tubing is higher from Lynskey. AFAIK Burls uses plain guage Ti. You are also paying for 'alledgedly' better weilding quality. Although I dont automtically buy into that. My Fat bike will be plain guage Ti, great bicycle tubing. But for a road mount, I'd be tempted by a more dialled tubeset.
Seems weird to pay for custom geometry you dont need.
Lynskey.
Unless you want to be inventive, and add paragon rocker drop-outs. I have some post mount ones in Russia waiting to be part of my fat frame. I have no real plans to go SS. But being able to adjust the chainstay length according to use, appealed. You could slam your rear wheel in for road duties, then pull it out for off-road ture clearance, or loade stability. Having done some heavily loaded rides on a CXbike. I'd have liked the option to push my rear wheel back a few cm.
