Hello! I got the same electric blue LHT back in February Like moderncyclista said, it is heavy, but it truly rides like a dream. I love it. I was looking for a work horse and one that would be comfortable as I get older. So welcome to the LHT club! Quite a few members on this forum have them and all rave about the bike. My longest ride so far has only been about 15 miles due to the crummy Midwest spring weather we've had this year, but I can't wait to get out for longer rides.

I haven't done too much to personalize my LHT. Only a rear rack and Topeak trunk bag so far, but like you, I need a new saddle as well.

Enjoy!
