    Converting to Trekking Bars

    I spent 4 hours last night at my LBS learning, talking, and testing a Surly LHT. I was a little in love with this bike before I even tried it, after all the recommendations and reading I'd done.

    Thanks for the recommendations!

    How does a person know what size of bike to get? I don't seem to recall there being an option when I bought my Kona, but the Surly's list different sizes.

    I bought my first "real" bike about 5 years ago--a Kona Dew hybrid, which has served me well for commuting and a short overnight camping/cycle.
