Alright, let’s go! Today, we’ve got Lauren Mehl’s 2022 Lynskey GR300 tie gravel bike. It’s a pretty rad custom build with some cool bags, an ergonomic cockpit, and a groupset from SRAM. Lauren is super active in the Queer cycling scene. She’s a co-founder of Queer Plus Bikes, Board Member of Friends of FoCo Fondo, and co-founder of Joy Ride (coming soon). I had a blast shooting her Lynskey, so do me a solid and check it out below.
This Ride Review is brought to you by our friends at Rio Grande Mexican Restaurants, with locations in Fort Collins (OG), Greeley, Denver, Lone Tree, and Boulder. The Rio serves up the best margs and Tex-Mex in Colorado and has long supported the Fort Collins cycling scene.
