I remember when I brought the LHT home, it seemed so....tiny! Certainly when compared with the Trek 7.6 FX WSD. I remember posting a picture of it here and several women thought it was too short for me - but it turned out just right. It will be interesting to see how differently the Gunnar will look with all of her parts - right now she is neekid

That picture made me chuckle, that's at Nebo Ridge I recognize the office buildings next to it where everyone parks for the Thursday night rides. That is a cute lil frame!

Yep, you are right Winding Road
Ya know, I just noticed that the TT slopes - but in a different direction than I expected to see. Interesting - but then again I have very specific fit needs. This is based on their Crosshairs frame, though it isn't a cross bike - the fork is their custom road fork.
I still have heart palpitations when I think about the cost of this bike, but I think we are going to have plenty of happy miles with each other
Duh - of COURSE the frame slopes differently than expected - she isn't yet mounted on fork and wheels...silly me! She won't have much of a slope, but more than my LHT!Last edited by Catrin; 03-25-2011 at 07:11 PM.

How exciting, Catrin! I can't wait to see it completely built and I know you can't either. Looks like you will be riding it for the Harmonie Hundred!

I can't wait to see her in person, Catrin. As pretty as the frame looks in those pictures, my guess is that they're not doing it justice. I bet it just sparkles in sunlight!

She was still neekid when I last saw her, but she should have at least some of her parts installed when I go Friday to make a payment. There is a small chance that she might be ready by then....if so then I could take a spin around the parking lot... squeeeeeeeeeeee Originally Posted by indysteel
