It is supposed to rain tomorrow...so the current plan is to take him to the circle drive at the park at 4 Sunday pm

Great bike!
I hope you have a fabulous ride.

What a wonderful blue bike! My LHT is the dusky blue, but I like your blue better.
The bar shifters are very easy to learn. I hope you have many wonderful adventures with your bike.

One word for ya . . . FENDERS. You've got plenty of space for them and then you will fear no weather! Add them to your ever growing list of must haves. bikerHen

Indeed! I am waiting for the new Performance Bike store to open next weekend here in Indianapolis and check out their fenders, water bottle cages, and seat bags

[bikerHen]

Yeah, you've got the idea! It never ends. There's always one more must have . . . .
Pimping out your new bike is almost more fun than buying it. bikerHen

Congratulations!! Just found out that mine won't be here until Monday. Now that you've met your LHT in person, how do you think a Brooks brown or honey brown saddle and bar tape would go with that blue velvet? (I'm considering that combo for my bike...)

This time I am taking my time pimping it out - I wasted no time with Stella There is also the little detail of having the scratch since I paid cash for the LHT

Sounds beautiful! I went with a Brooks black B17, and am considering eventually changing to light blue or blue/white bar tape. Congrats on your new LHT!

The bike will tell you. I was all set to accent my olive green LHT with brown, even bought the honey Brooks B-17. Got my first look at the new frame and it just screamed black accents. I tried to do brown but the bike was not having any of it! So black saddle, bar tape and under the seat bag. It was a happy bike. I did just replace the bar tape with green camo tape that looks very cool! Now it's an even happier bike bikerHen

We certainly do want to keep our bikes happy

BikerHen - have you had any problems reaching the brake levers on your LHT - or anyone else? I've posted a question on this in the bike parts section - couldn't figure out where to put t
