visited the Waterford/Gunnar factory!

I met Georgena a couple of years ago, and got to ride with her a little bit. (Do you know she walks with crutches, but get her on a bike and watch her go!) .

I didn't know that. Do you know why she walks with crutches? Is it a neuromuscular disorder or was she recuperating from an accident?

I guess a lot of people probably don't know--in the occasional photos of her on her website she looks so fit.

She wore a brace on one leg, so I think it's a permanent/ongoing thing, though I didn't feel I knew her well enough to ask. My roommate during the tour knew her in college, and she suspected MS, but didn't seem to know for sure.

But ooh, baby, she sure can ride a bike. I try to think of her whenever I've got a whiney sore muscle or aching joint that's beginning to make me feel sorry for myself--sure puts those little things into perspective.

nice bike!
but if it's steel why are the tubes so FAT??? I hate fat tubes!!!

I thought OS means Oversized.

From their website (they changed it so now I can't find anything ). They used to have a full page devoted to the tubing.

OS2 takes the OS concept to a whole new level. Taking advantage of advanced air-hardening technology, OS2 sports a 1 1/4 inch top tube and 1 3/8 inch downtube with wall thicknesses that offer lighter weight than the comparable OS tubesets with improved torsional rigidity.
