Nice Roger, very nice, I hope you love your LHT as much as I love my Disc Trucker.
I don’t know how Surly do it, they build a heavy bike which never feels like a heavy bike. They are great to ride with no load and equally great carrying over 30kg of camping kit. Whilst friends have to load their bikes carefully to avoid frame shimmies at high speed I just chuck my gear on Fred and off we go! And, to cap it all, the week before last in the Alps, I had great fun chucking him round fast bends during twisty descents, as usual he was rock solid.
