I bought a Surly LHT in January to use for the AIDS LifeCycle and beyond. Just rode it last night around some local fire trails in the mountains in Marin. The 36h 700c touring rims and continental contact tires made for a pretty stable ride on some pretty loose trail.
Today I'm riding my Marin Novato, with a couple Jandd grocery bag panniers for an after work food shopping trip.
The reason I joined today is I'm going to be doing a lot of research on handlebar options and want to be able to post questions.
Thanks for the welcome.
