Feeler - 2010 LHT

I don't really want to sell my LHT, but I need money for some unexpected medical bills so am exploring the possibility of selling her.

46 cm 2010 frame, triple 9 speed (11-34 cassette) with trigger shifters and a road crank, 2-inch riser bars with Ergon grips and Titec bar ends. She only has about 2k miles on her and no crashes outside of the occasional clipless tip-over. For sake of full disclosure there have been a couple of scratches on the paint that were covered with matching fingernail polish :o

She is a sweet bike that will ride all day long, and also has rack and SKS fenders. She would be a great commuter/winter bike as well as a full touring bike (of course). She currently has Shimano dual pedals (clipless on one side), I could replace those with a spare set of SunRingle ZuZu BMX pedals if desired.

Just seeing if anyone might be interested, I can post more information and better pictures and will think about what I might want for her if I do decide to sell.

Oh no! I hope you can find a way to keep her.

Someone suggested in a PM that I check with my homeowners insurance... I don't have that, but I DO have renters insurance. I am going to ask them about this, you never know what they might say!

If I DO need to sell her then I would prefer to sell her to a TE member and keep her "in the family" if possible :)

I've been eying a Surly for some time, but it seems she's a tad too small for me, I ride a 51cm roadie and 5'5"-ish... My hybrid Fx is a 15".

She probably would be too small for you - I have long legs, but I need a short reach & a quite upright riding position due to not being able to tolerate weigt on my hands. If we just went by my inseam I would take a 51 cm roadie, but of course that isn't the only thing that matters.

I've been a lurker for quite a while. I enjoying the forum! I've been looking for a bike (LHT-like) to ride the dirt roads of VT. A LBS has said the LHT would be perfect. I am interested in your bike also, but I think it might be to small for me too. I'm 5'4". Very sorry to hear that you might need to sell her.

I am holding off on this decision, am trying a couple other routes first :)

I know several 5'4 women who ride this size, it is a pretty big jump up to the next size...though I do not know if she would fit you or not. Have you checked out the geometry page on Surly's site? Of course, Ms. Explorer has very different stem/bars/brakes/shifters than she was shipped with...

Good luck in trying to keep her!

I'm waiting for the LBS in Brattleboro to get in the 50cm so I can test ride it. I have to admit I'm getting confused with all the geometry pages I've been looking at. :eek:

Oh I would hate to see you sell your LHT. She's meant so much to you!

I'm very interested in the LHT. When do you plan to make a decision? I would like to purchase something within the next week or so. A price and additional pics would be much appreciated.
