Lynskey GR 260

I rode a GR260 for about 6 months this past fall.  Really loved the frame but ended up selling it based on how the bike felt while climbing.  I think the longer chainstays might be a contributor to the feel of flex at the rear triangle and also affect the sluggish climbing response I felt.  The changes made to the 270 dropouts look nice but they still have the same length chain stays. My guess is it would feel similar to the 260.  

How did your build turn out? 

samongravel curious then what you bought then or what is a climbing bike to you?

J. Gulliem Atalaya.  The chainstays and few other things about the geometry make it a better climbing and more responsive frame for me.  I like the bike to feel Lively when standing on the pedals.  The GR260 was tractor stable but lacked the pop you get with a shorter chain stay.  I had also had decided to give Di2 a try and the Lynsky wasn't as clean in the cable routing dept.  

Here are some pics of both.  My GR260 was built with Campy Record H11 hydro components.  

The detail on the Atalaya is impressive.  Dropouts, HT and BB shell are a work of art.
       

I just ordered a 270 to replace my Otso.  How long did it take for people's frames to ship?

The answer is about 5 days.
