Sweet. I love my LHT. I'm still not a fan of my Brooks (on my 520), but I think my sit bones are slightly too wide. Just slightly. Eventually, I will switch to a less appealing looking, but more comfortable saddle. I got the Blue Velvet LHT and man it's just spectacular in person! I'm sure the Black will look amazing! I have a Blackburn rack on my LHT now and Waterproof Seattle Sports Panniers (similar in design to Ortliebs, but much, much cheaper) that work wonderfully.
I have a Planet Bike Superflash tail light that is awesome - so 1 recommendation there.
What fenders are you getting for the 26 inch tires? Mine are Planet Bike but even after tweaking, I'm not very happy with them. The fit isn't as close to the tire as I'd like. Doesn't look very "sleek" in my opinion. After all my babbling, my point is.... keep us posted.
