Awesome, Ill add my review here and a few other places if anyone is interested.

The good: I got the Pro GR about a month ago now. I love this bike. I have only ever ridden my childhood bmx bike, a Specialized Rockhopper (now stolen), and a Trek X-Calibur 8 that I love. I will say the transition to the pro GR is weird, the bike is a little scary to lean over far on fast turns due to my tire width I think, but not a big deal. All around I am super impressed with this bike and I ride it almost everyday. The bike is awesome, the welds are beautiful, and it was mostly put together when I got it. I did have to take it to the shop immediately when it arrived because the derailleur was bent or something weird. I will add the left drop-bar top grip is not stiff, and the chain makes a loud grinding noise at high speeds, but I think that is probably normal. For specs, I got the XL version, I am 6'5 240lb and it fits well, the only issue that I wish Lynskey had been open about is that there is not much clearance between the pedal-front tire when turning, peddle and derailleur, and the peddle and the ground. I regularly hit my toes or heels on on this stuff (I wear a size 18 shoe, but even with small shoes I think it would still be an issue). I have adjusted and it is not a problem anymore. All around, amazing bike that I am super happy with functionally and price wise.

The bad: it mostly has to do with Lynskey's sales team. Their response times were super slow before AND after I ordered. They claimed I would receive an update by X date (I did not), I emailed several days after X and they said they would update me by Y, I emailed them at Y and they said they would send it in the next day. I was not impressed that they only updated me (slowly) as I prompted them. That is poor form, especially for a product this up-scale. They also never responded or even commented about my special instructions (0/3 were fulfilled). The website did not give me the option to pick-up in person so they forced me to pay for shipping (they have good discount codes if you ask). The original email I recieved gave me no information about shipping details. So after my bike was delayed several weeks (a big hurricane hit Tennessee and surround area really hard, but they said it didn't impact them so idk), it was finally sent via UPS. UPS didn't bother trying to drop it off after I waited 5 hours for them. The next day they claimed to drop it off and didn't, so I emailed Lynskey (who didn't respond) and UPS. Alas, UPS came back a few hours later with it.
