I rode a Gunnar Sport on PBP. It really has a marvelous ride. I carried a Carradice saddlebag and a modestly loaded (7 pound or so) handlebar bag. I did upgrade to the Waterford fork, since I think that a straight-blade fork transfers more road shock than a traditional curved-radius fork. I put a third set of water-bottle bosses on and got S&S couplers installed. My only criticism is that the paint seems more fragile than I think it should be. Others have voiced the same criticism. I've heard that Gunnar has modified their painting procedures though.
