Lynskey GR300 Gravel Build

[FIJIGabe]

I bought a new Lynskey GR300 frame, last month. It’s an XL, and most of the parts were transferred over from my Crockett (which explains all of the Bontrager bits). Other than lacing the wheels, I did all of the work myself.

It’s currently sitting at about 9.6-9.7kg, which is not exactly WW territory, but I hope to drop some of that weight as time goes on (I’ve already replaced the bottle and rack bolts with aluminum bolts, which netted a 30g weight loss.

I anticipate dropping another couple of grams once my fitter gives me the OK to trim the head tube. I’m pretty comfortable with the riding position, so it shouldn’t be too long.

Beautiful bike and well done! Ride it with pride. My favorite frame color too!

Thanks! I'm going to upgrade the bars to fit a bar-end junction. I'll be using Easton EC70AX bars, since the Salsa bars were recalled.
