For what it's worth, it used to be on the Riv website that the LHT is a functional clone of the Atlantis. I don't know enough about bike geometry to confirm that. I honestly could see it though, if that were true. It used to say something like, "You want beautiful lugs and fancy paint, get the Atlantis. You don't want to pay that much, get a LHT." I have no idea how long the FAQ said that before they took it down. I do remember reading it though. It's what made me look Surly up! LOL.

Oh and I love my LHT and I love that photo!
