The issue with weight loss programs including the bypass surgery with out exercise is that you not only lose fat but also muscle. Muscle burns fat. You can increase your metabolism and burn fat more efficiently by building more muscle. The reason people gain back what they lose so quickly is that they continue to lose muscle as they bounce back and forth between gaining and losing weight each time putting on more fat and losing more muscle.  You will be very surprised how your body responds to a weight lifting program to build muscle and cycling on a consistent basis. Exercise intently  everyday and eat only real food, no processed foods and your body will respond accordingly without risking your health with the surgery.

Call R&E Cycles. They are very helpful, have a lot of stock sizes and guarantees the fit. They make a really nice touring bike. You may also want to find a Gunnar dealer that can measure you and get the correct sizing. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback on the Gunnar. Sounds like a great touring bike. I've been researching touring bikes for a while now and finally settled on the Gunnar. It is a lot of value for the price. I currently ride a 59cm 2007 Waterford RS-22 which I love. My LBS thinks the 60cm Gunnar would fit well. I'm 6ft. I noticed you have the sloping crown fork instead of the unicrown. Was that an intentional selection. It is a better looking fork but not sure if the tire clearance is the same. My goal is to get a great tour bike without putting a lot of money in it.

Hello, I just ran across your ad. I'm currently getting a quote for a new Gunnar GT with disks and Shimano build pkg. I'm curious why you are selling your Gunnar. Have you been pleased with the bike both loaded and unloaded? Any experience you can share would be most helpful. Thanks Bill
