I have a made-by-Lynskey road bike. I use 25 x 700c Gatorskins with Mavic Open Pro rims. The ride comfort is very good. My steel bikes, including a 2009 Soma Double Cross and a 1978 Trek 400D, do ride more comfortably, however. These bikes feel more supple and the geometry is more relaxed.

The Lynskey is stiffer, a feature I like on hill climbs and sprints. The ride quality is a good compromise and is not an issue on a 200km.
