Steve and Lynn Hamlin own and operate Maklin Bike Shop in Scandia, Minnesota. The name is a mashup of Lynn’s maiden name Makela and Steve’s last name Hamlin.
We rotate through bikes every season so we can tell customers what actually rides well. The reviews, trail reports, and race recaps here all come from real time on the bike.
