So you're going to replace a frame you "love to bits" that "just feels right" with a frame you've never ridden (and won't be able to ride before purchase, I assume)?

Sounds about right.

I've just gone from small Blue Pig to medium Brodie Holeshot Ti as I couldnt find a Ragley Ti.

I don't regret it at all, having said that, I had ridden a small Holeshot before, and I did compare the geometry.

As for the Lynksey, I have no idea, although Brant may be able to enlighten you to the differences

I bought a Ridgeline LT to replace a 456 a while back. Some observations:

- Lynskey can't use a tape measure - the frame wasn't the size the website said it was. This was a right faff to sort out (never again Lynskey!)
- the head angle was steeper than the 456 so it wasn't as good downhill as the 456, and not as good for general trail use either
- the medium was very handsome (just too small...)
- the large was a big ugly gate of a thing
- it was very comfy
- and it was well made and finished

It promised a lot but I quickly sold it on, at a considerable loss and went back to steel (Soul and now BFe).
