A couple of weeks ago I made a post about the new Gunnar Sport I ordered. Here's that link (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=42068) .
Now, an update:
I decided on a saddle. Brooks B-17 titanium in honey.
I also decided to get top bar levers often found on cyclocross bikes in addition to the regular brake levers. I did it because I ride a lot with my daughters where we start and stop all the time and I spend all my time on the top bars. It'll add a couple of ounces, which I'm not really concerned with.
I still haven't yet decided on pedals. I'm thinking of the two sided pedals where I can jump on with tennis shoes with my kids, but the other side I can lock on with cleats. If anybody has thoughts about that, please chime in.
The bike ought to be ready in a week or so.
Hi,
great choice, now get the Waterford paint job. It's worth every penny. I love Gunnar, hate their paint.
I kept hearing that the Gunnar paint wasn't good, and I didn't care for the regular Gunnar selection anyway, so I special ordered a Waterford paint. I chose the "Rockwall Red" that Waterford uses as one of the Heron Bike colors. Its a dark metallic red with a hint of brown. Here's the color from the Heron web site:

I think it'll be darn sharp with that Brooks honey-colored saddle!
