It finally came! My new Gunnar Sport frame in Chameleon Metallic. The guys at All About Bikes in Chesapeake, VA, were wonderful! Check out the "Pretty and Strong" Chris King...

If anyone needs an awesome 52 cm bike frame, my Wineberry is now on eBay.

Yeah, I want to hear all about it. You're about a week ahead of me. (my frame is due to come in next week)
I have ordered wheels from Peter White, but that's all.

RG, my Gunnar Roadie rode like a dream! And this one should be even better - since it's actually the right size!

Thanks for all your comments. I'm pretty excited. Can you tell??

Whoa, bike porn!
Jeannie, that's a gorgeous frame! Can't wait to see her in the flesh, so to speak! So is the build done yet and, if so, how's the ride in comparison to your Roadie?

read the other thread, JeannieRides was in a car accident. She won't be on her bike for a while.
