All the guys that work at my LBS use Gunnars for their road bikes, and upgrade their components as their whims and technology progress.

The Gunnar Roadie frame is a very (very) responsive ride. The new OS2 tubing is about an lb. lighter than the former 853. I highly recommend Gunnar. It's an economical way to get a custom, great workmanship, great customer service. (Like getting an "economy" Waterford). Custom paint jobs are available, too.

Mine's a light metallic green....
