Well, thanks to all you guys for your thoughts.
A BikeForum member, Al, has clued me to a small nearby shop that has built some LHT's, and the owner may have a 52" frame ordered for someone coming in. This would allow me to really see where things are at for me.
I have done so much bike touring surfing in the past week that I have lost count of what I have seen!
Except for someone's amazing reconditioning of a 80's Specialized Expedition with a super Imron paint job.
Whew! Find me one of those steel bikes with the quill stem!
Anyway, so things are looking up for a real test drive, and I hope it is sooner than later.
Now I got to plan for a weekend in Moab for a totally different type of riding.
Thanks again, guys! I appreciate it!
