Very nice LHT there!

If you ride through western Colorado please stop in! I may even load up my old olive green LHT and ride a bit with you.

baby step by baby step you're inching your way closer to your trip...
I like the way you operate!

Your new ride is a BEAUTY!!! I'm so excited for you (and only a teensy bit jealous of your new steed).

Most definitely, Catriona. I believe we originally spoke about a red and black theme for the bike. Since you're the Queen of Bike Bling, I'm sure you can hook me up with the right accessories for my Black Beauty.

Catrin, the fenders are from Planet Bike. They're easily adjustable and can certainly accommodate larger tires, should I decide to switch them out. I'm not using a click-stand, that's a Pletscher double kickstand. It's nice in that it allows one to change a flat without having to turn the bike over, plus you can do chain maintenance quite easily.

7Rider, we did go a bit wild and crazy with the headset spacers. I'm not completely upright but the position is comfortable, especially for those long rides. I just might change those spacers for RED ones ... add some colorful bling.
