Good luck thorn! I sent my Gunnar back to them for a repaint and they couldn't have been nicer or easier to deal with. Good folks as Waterford and mightly fine looking bikes.
When I finally get a custom, I think I'm going to go with Carl Strong, but Waterford tempts me, as well.

Thorn, with respect to your current bike, sounds to me like you just need new wheels. Or maybe your old wheels just need truing.
But of course you need a new Waterford too!

New wheels and/or truing your wheels makes such a tremendous difference in the ride. If you like the frame and it fits, keep the bike and get new wheels. I think I read here that only 1/5th of the weight of the bike is the frame, and wheels are rotational weight, the weight you have to get movin'. So when that's lighter and better whoopeeee! It's like a new bike.
