Not quite the same guys as Lynskey, Mark Lynskey was Litespeed until he sold it then a while later started up Lynskey. I've owned both, but now I'm down to a colection of Lynskeys from TT to MTB and have never had a problem. Just ordered a pro29er which should be here soon as well, Its a pretty safe bet this FS wont be horrible to ride either, they spent a long time working on it to get it right.
