Gunnar all but done!

The Gunnar is all but finished.  A few odds and ends (paint protectors, new brake nut, neat seat collar) and it will be road-worthy.

I have to say I really love building bikes.  My perfectionist ways take far too much time to work at it professionally, but I love it anyway.  I re-wrapped the bars three times, and re-tensioned the derailleur cables at least twice each to attain shifting perfection.  Not good when you're racing against the clock, haha.
