My lovely LHT, currently my trainer bike...
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.
I don't need another bike I don't need another bike. I don't need another bike.

these are sure fine looking bicycles!

MINE! 50cm Cross Check called "Bridget".
Bought it as a complete bike but had to swap out some of the stock parts to get a better fit. We now have:
* Bontrager Race Lite Anatomic bars in 38mm
* shorter stem with more rise (60mm +35degrees, versus 80mm/+6 degree as stock)
* 160 mm cranks
* 26T granny ring - bring on those hills!
Oh yes and now with Speedplay Frog pedals.![]()

Here is my lovely 42 LHT. I took her across NY last summer and debating doing it again this summer. With the Brooks saddle it is the most comfortable bike I have. The stock saddle sucked but other than that I haven't changed a thing. I did have to gerry rig the fenders on with parts from Home Depot so they weren't a few inches from the tires. I would like a lighter rack for the back and new computer. Otherwise, she's perfect just the way she is.

On your initial post or in edit mode under the edit screen is the additional options box. Underneath the blue text that says "manage files" is the "manage attachments" button, click that.
The manage attachments box should pop up. You should then be zen, unattached.
Oh wait, computer directions.![]()

Voila! This is Surly Jack. Brooks saddle, frog pedals, and my awesome and coveted Acorn handlebar bag. Love.
Well, I've gone and done it... I've bought a second Surly.
Just arrived Monday and build isn't 100% complete yet but here's where we've got to so far. (I'll figure out how to insert a proper thumbnail image in this post later.)
This will be my audax/randonneur bike and will be my partner for my club's tour in June from London to John O'Groats. The training is underway. We have two 60+ mile rides this week. It's all good.

My new baby. I am so in love.
P.S. Oh and after 12 years of quite contented singledom, I have a wonderful new boyfriend.... who also cycles.... so when I say "in love" here, it's relatively speaking.![]()
