It still rides nice but I get tired of the noise. For $900 I am not that upset though. I was going to get one of there nicer gravel frames as a replacement recently but saw the bad press on frame deliveries. Decided not to. Too bad I like the prices.
I have a Lynskey R270 Disc that developed a creak at one point. Thinking something was wrong with the BB or was about to have a failing Shimano crank, I took it to the shop.
The guy diagnosed it as a loose dropout insert.
Don't know if the GR300 has the same style dropout, but if it does, the fix could be as easy as a wrench and a bit of loctite. Good luck!
