My SO, who worked at bike shops for years and years, rides a Gunnar Roadie and he thinks it's a great riding frame for the money!

Last year I was thinking of having a custom Gunnar Sport frame made for me. I ride a tiny frame, 50cm effective top tube. At the time the custom frames were about $1200. The smallest production Sports have 650c wheels. I wanted 700c wheels.

Last fall I found an ebay auction for someone's tiny custom Sport frame for 700c wheels. Seems a guy had it built for his gf and she just wasn't into riding. Pretty much my size too. I went after it with a stupid high max bid. Got the frame with a Reynolds Ouzo Pro carbon fork shipped to my door for $285. Wowza.

I put a steel Surly Pacer fork on it (sold the Reynolds fork for $100) and had it powdercoated a dark metallic green.

I went from a Surly Pacer (which is still quite a nice ride!) to the Sport. The Sport is a higher quality steel, a bit lighter in weight.



(This was the bike before it was powdercoated.)

I rode this bike in the Bicycle Tour of Colorado in June, 400+ miles in 5 days. It was fantastic!

I keep a constant ebay search for Gunnar to see what comes up everyday.
