Feeler - 2010 LHT

[Owlie]

Oh no! I hope you can find a way to keep her.

Someone suggested in a PM that I check with my homeowners insurance... I don't have that, but I DO have renters insurance. I am going to ask them about this, you never know what they might say!

If I DO need to sell her then I would prefer to sell her to a TE member and keep her "in the family" if possible

I've been eying a Surly for some time, but it seems she's a tad too small for me, I ride a 51cm roadie and 5'5"-ish... My hybrid Fx is a 15".

She probably would be too small for you - I have long legs, but I need a short reach & a quite upright riding position due to not being able to tolerate weigt on my hands. If we just went by my inseam I would take a 51 cm roadie, but of course that isn't the only thing that matters.

I've been a lurker for quite a while. I enjoying the forum! I've been looking for a bike (LHT-like) to ride the dirt roads of VT. A LBS has said the LHT would be perfect. I am interested in your bike also, but I think it might be to small for me too. I'm 5'4". Very sorry to hear that you might need to sell her.

I am holding off on this decision, am trying a couple other routes first

I know several 5'4 women who ride this size, it is a pretty big jump up to the next size...though I do not know if she would fit you or not. Have you checked out the geometry page on Surly's site? Of course, Ms. Explorer has very different stem/bars/brakes/shifters than she was shipped with...

Good luck in trying to keep her!

I'm waiting for the LBS in Brattleboro to get in the 50cm so I can test ride it. I have to admit I'm getting confused with all the geometry pages I've been looking at.
