My new-to-me Surly LHT!

I am so excited about this beauty that I scored on CL today!! It is a 2009 and 50cm size with the 26 inch wheels. I am just giddy over the moon at this find. I intend to use it for some long tours of the C&O canal and the Great Allegheny Gap this summer, as well as just kickin' around, which I don't really feel comfortable doing on my race-y bike.

Now I am going to spiff it up with a Brooks B68 saddle, some Velo Orange Fenders, a Planet Bike headlight and the SPD/flat pedals :D:D:D:D

Anything I'm forgetting?

Nice score!!! :) Congrats on a fabulous find!!:D

Oh nice! And the bench too.

Nice!

Love it!!! What a great find!!!! You will love it.

Woo hoo! Panniers so you can run errands with it? Gorgeous bike, wishing you many happy rides together :)

Score! Know you will enjoy the bike, let us know when it tells you it's name

Sweet bike. I have a 46cm and I love it!

Congrats....and happy trails! I have a 2010 SLHT and love it. I've done a couple of sub 24H trips and rode it throughout the winter. I'm planning some weekend trips this summer. I named mine "the beast". Looking forward to lots of fun!

wow, nice find! I keep a sharp eye out here, but so far, no one is giving up their LHT!

Beautiful find!

LHT's are amazing. As much as I hate to admit it, those grumbly guys at Surly make functional, lovely bicycles. Fenders. Lights. Panniers. Helmet. Brooks B17 special (in my opinion) ;) and you're good to go! :D (B67 is alright if you don't think B17 will fit.)

Great score! I've tried scouring for a 42 cm Cross-Check (I have a 46cm LHT but the bottom bracket is higher on the Cross-check raising the top-tube height so 42 cm is my goal. ;) ) - I missed out on the light blue frame and I'm kicking myself. What are you gonna do though? Surly bikes are hard to find used. LOL!
