Built from spare parts? Very nice bike you have there! Great job.Originally Posted by Hartmame
Here is mine. Built up from parts and I think it turned out real nice. It has matching tires now and I'm slowly adding things to get it ready for touring.
Also, to the other 520 riders I just swapped my rear cassette out on the 520. Anyone else had this done??? I felt like the "steps" between gears was just too large and I was never in the "right" gear to keep up a good cadence. Any thoughts?
And, finally more bikes everybody! Pics are wonderful to all who've posted!

I thought I'd post an updated photo of my Surly LHT.

My 50cm LHT setup with Trekking Bars. Since this picture was taken I have added a B17 Imperial, changed the smallest chain ring to a 24t and put fatter tires on . The upright ride + trekking bars feels so much like driving a car, that sometimes I hit the turn signal at a stop sign, only to realize there isn't one..lol

When I was commuting earlier in the summer I did a little, it would have made a great commuter even if she was so heavy. I am glad that she went to someone who would ride her more though. Originally Posted by Scrappy

Scrappy, that looks so cool! The wheels in particular caught my eye for some reason-what kind are they? They offset the black frame well. (My bikes have stock black wheels, but I am partial to a chrome finish.) Originally Posted by Scrappy

I've never tried trekking bars, but they look as though they'd be comfortable. (Where are the shifters?)

These bikes are all so gorgeous. I have major LHT lust even though I don't need one at all.

I have ridden my Karate Monkey single speed for almost a year and I use it mostly anywhere but trails. I have ridden fun simple trails on it. It is a really fun bike.
