Frame $975, then fork is extra. It seems the Surly LHT trucker frame and fork are similar but with slightly more tour-friendly features -- two sets of fork eyelets on dropout, spoke mounts, and options for 26" wheels -- for less than 1/2 the cost at ~$450 or less. In fact, for price of the Gunnar, one could get a complete Surly LHT. Perhaps made in the USA and difference in frame material justifies the price for some.

P.S. Looking at frame geometry, the LHT also seems to have aspects that more tour-centric. For example, longer wheel base and longer chainstays.
