And, finally more bikes everybody! Pics are wonderful to all who've posted!
I thought I'd post an updated photo of my Surly LHT.

Me and my truckaccino Surly LHT traveling around Prince Edward Island, Canada.

My 50cm LHT setup with Trekking Bars. Since this picture was taken I have added a B17 Imperial, changed the smallest chain ring to a 24t and put fatter tires on . The upright ride + trekking bars feels so much like driving a car, that sometimes I hit the turn signal at a stop sign, only to realize there isn't one..lol :p

Scrappy - this...is...just...beautiful! Thanks for the picture!
Thank You Catrin! Do you miss your trucker?
When I was commuting earlier in the summer I did a little, it would have made a great commuter even if she was so heavy. I am glad that she went to someone who would ride her more though.Quote:

These bikes are all so gorgeous. I have major LHT lust even though I don't need one at all.
I have ridden my Karate Monkey single speed for almost a year and I use it mostly anywhere but trails. I have ridden fun simple trails on it. It is a really fun bike.

I know I've updated my Surly photo before but I made some big changes for the 2013 summer. I added the front rack and am trying another saddle. the other one did over 2500 miles but seemed to cut off the circulation to my left leg on longer rides this new saddle seems to have solved that problem. I'm planning on adding fenders if I can get the ones I want.
Is that a Selle Anatomic NS?
What fenders are you thinking,
I have Tanaka, Honjo, Gilles Berthoud (my fav), Velo Orange (noisy), SKS

They seem to be out of stock right now so I still have time to consider other options.
Here's mine, a 46cm LHT: Attachment 17112
