    My lht is a dirty blue 54cm surly with 26 wheels, planet bike fenders. I haven't changed anything on it except pedals and saddle.
    Gearing is great for touring. The stability of my bike is stellar. The bike is even more comfortable loaded, than without the weight.
    I have a road bike and mountain, but nothing brings me more adventure than my touring buddy.
    In this pic my dh and I are on the 2nd segment of the transamerica 2010. We hope to finish up this coming summer.http://forums.teamestrogen.com/attac...1&d=1325646706

    Here's mine. Love this bike.

    It's set-up is a little different. Added a Brooks and went to riser bars (from the Mary bars in the pic).

    Does anything and gets me anywhere.

    Oh and (duh) it's a 16" Karate Monkey.

    Love your photo! Have ridden that road before - I grew up in Yellowstone and my DH grew up in Bozeman.

    I was comparing my Rivendell to a 54 cm Surly the other day - I am hoping to build an "adventure" bike soon. Was interesting and when we get a 52 cm in I will be able to try both. So I just had to share this photo! Bike Touring News is a certified surly dealer.

    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!

    56cm Cross Check. I haven't done much other than change the saddle, tires, stem, and added a third chain ring. I love my bike so much. I just went out for a ride today for the first time in months. I had a knee injury in September and haven't been able to ride more than a few blocks since then but it was so nice out I couldn't resist. Its my commuter, road bike, touring bike, gravel/dirt path bike, everything bike. I look at other pretty bikes and sigh because I don't need them, my CC does it all (all that I want to do right now that is)

    My LHT

    This is my third Surly and this is a keeper. Its taken about three years to decide exactly how I need my bike setup after shoulder replacement. So I have not cut the fork because I have to ride very upright. It's a very comfortable position. I have only added Drillium pedals and bamboo fenders. I really enjoy the pedals because when I commute I can wear any shoes. I have come to enjoy them on extended rides. My Surly has many bags to wear according to where we are going. I love my LHT.
