    I'm sorry to see that you're having to sell your Gunnar, Catrin, but I totally understand. If I were living in a permanent location with a garage, I would certainly consider it. Since I bought your Jamis MTB, which fits me very well, I feel sure it would work for me. I hope you find a buyer very soon and don't have to break her up for parts!

    She is small, she could live in the back of your car :-) All joking aside, thanks for your good thoughts. I am giving it until the end of July before I pay me LBS to take her apart and list them on eBay. The full bike will be listed on eBay by the 15th if it isn't sold by then. She is also listed on Pink Bikes, Craigslist, and the local Bike Trader.

    If only! We can only take four of our six bikes with us as it is. The MTBs (our Jamis near-twins) are living at my mother's this summer, and we have our Trek roadies and Bike Fridays (for utility rides) with us. I feel sure you'll find a buyer, though -- she is a beaut, and a lot of women like a more upright position!

    Bumpety-bump-bump - the Gunnar is going to be listed on eBay tonight or tomorrow but the price here is still good for TE members, still hoping I won't have to sell her for parts.

    Bump I am posting this on eBay tonight, and won't bump this post again until I sell it. As it is a true full custom bike it HAS no size, but if it were a Long Haul Trucker it would likely be close to a 48....if they HAD one at all, or one with 26 inch wheels.

    Crossing fingers for you, Catrin!

    If it is close to a 48, it likely would have been a bit too large for me after all, even though your Jamis fit me fine. The road bikes I've had that fit me best range from 44.5 to 47 cm, so it's highly possible a 48 might just be a bit long in the top tube.

    Keep us posted!

    It isn't any stock size, that is why I provided all of the dimensions above. It has a just a little shorter reach than the Jamis, if my memory is correct. It is meant for an upright riding position + flat bars so I don't know that it really compares with a bike with drop bars - which is how I define a road bike. A 48 for a LHT, if such a thing existed (it doesn't), probably would have a longer TT than what the Gunnar has. I was just trying to related it to something, and I probably shouldn't do that. My fitter/builder said I should just let the dimensions speak for themselves.
