Battleship Gray Sport

by admin on March 7, 2012

This stylish Battleship Gray Gunnar Sport came through the shop last week. It’s too good looking a bike to disappear, but it complements virtually any color scheme. You can see more at our flickr site.

Though the Gunnar Sport has been around for some time, it’s really come into its own over the past 3 years. It offers terrific ride comfort, an easy fit, and great versatility. When the weather and the roads are nice, it looks just like a road bike, with just a bit more tire clearance. That extra clearance comes in handy when the weather and the roads get rougher. You can mount fenders and 28C tires or 32-35C tires without fenders. Its medium length wheelbase and stable steering makes it great for high mileage rides in hilly or mountainous as well as flat terrain. Yet its light weight tubing keeps the ride comfortable. It sells really well at our shops in Seattle (Montlake Bike Shop), Portland (River City Bicycles) and the San Francisco Area (Stone’s Cyclery and American Cyclery), to mention just a few success stories.

Your flickr photos look great but this Battleship Gray is best appreciated in the sun light. My Crosshairs has this color and the pearl clearcoat lights it up in person. Some may think gray is dull and boring but this color looks great in person. I put a red headset and seatpost clamp to add a little color. It hides road grime great too.

It sure would be great to see Battleship Gray as the next color of the month. I would definitely order one up. Hint hint, nudge nudge.

One of these days it will be. Unfortunately not this month. We do have a terrific Willow Green. We’re feeling the Springtime!

another vote for Battleship Gray’s return

Thanks for that vote. We never run out of good colors, but we’re also not afraid to recycle them. It’s $125 to add it to your order right now.
