One thing when looking at the Kona Dew Drop is that I have read that it is built very very solid (pro in that you wont break it but bad because its a bit heavy and not the smoothest ride). Also in my mind the best bike is the one you have and if I had to save up for the LHT's it would be awhile before I got them (as a student the funds tend to keep getting lower as opposed to higher).
I have awhile to keep looking at some other options mentioned here as I want to get the bikes first since it is supposed to be a surprise for the gf and a bunch of bike racks and bags would be a pretty big giveaway.
