Waterford works today's best available materials - the latest seamless butted specialty steels - to create our Gunnar framesets. Gunnars are built on the same tables, Gunnars are painted in the same paint shop and Gunnars are drawn by the same designer as Waterfords. Without any change in quality, Gunnars are essentially Waterfords built in standard sizes , jointed in TIG format without the lugs. When your bike needs to be custom in some way - extra tall or small, an unusual top tube length or some other request, Waterford framesets are designed espressly to your requirements, one at a time, with lots of personal attention . If you buy your suits suits off the rack and normal clothes fit you , Gunnars are built from 46 to 60cm in just a few colors. That means faster delivery. And lower price because this saves an immense amount of material expense and loads of slow meticulously attentive silver brazing. Waterford's skilled staff can and does build both. TIG is faster. Gunnars use clean tough precision formed frame ends and beautiful fork crowns (or choose a trendy Carbon fork if you wish!) and dress in a simple, durable single color finish. A Waterford if you wish, of course, but custom isn't always necessary.
Result? Take a look!
New for 2006
Why? Because you can't run a tire wider than 28 in a modern racing bicycle , there's no room for mudguards and mounting racks is dicey. Built for the way most riders really ride, the Gunnar Sport, has been refined over the years to legendary perfection.

Gunnar 2005 prices and options 
We love Gunnars! They are built at Waterford, Wisconsin by the Waterford Bicycles staff, a very few people dedicated to building America's preeminent specialty steel bicycle 
Here's a sample of the Gunnar Sport, our most popular bike here at Yellow Jersey. This is Gunnar's version of what we used to call a Club Bike - zippy, light and great responsive handling but just a touch longer and lower than most modern racing geometries. 
Gunnars use the same material as Waterfords . Or so we thought. Waterford's designers changed the tube set to include modern American made True Temper OX-2 seamless double butted tubes. The OX-2 material is a similar air-hardening steel to Reynolds 853 , now available in Waterford's preferred gauges. It's very well suited to a larger diameter tube for more modern lines.
The 2005 Gunnar Sport with OX-2 is both lighter and stronger.
Waterford tweaked the top tube to a slight slope and added a head tube extension so getting that handlebar a bit higher is easy with normal stems.
Choose either Gunnar's new 'straight' fork shown here, handbuilt with this pretty angled crown or choose a traditional threaded one inch curved fork from Gunnar or choose a natural finish carbon fork such as our Profile BRC, threaded or threadless or choose another lighter fork such as Reynolds Ouzo Pro or ask Gunnar to paint your carbon fork to match.
As always we offer more choices!
Gunnar Sport Colors are glossy black enamel, medium blue metallic, bright traffic yellow enamel, Italian race red and a wide variety of color of the month like this Big Band Blue
There are always several choices or you can specify any PPG Custom Color
As always, lots of individual attention, wide parameters of frame design and component choices, meticulous attention to detail and the same low prices you've enjoyed already with Gunnars from Yellow Jersey
