aside from obvious functionality is the LHT a joy to ride?
title says it. for some unexplainable reason I have good feelings about the LHT and am pondering grabbing a complete and doing some upgrades...brakes etc. It'll be in rotation with my ss on my 40km or so roundtrip commute and be a weekend ride. I ride with a carradice saddle bag and would continue that with the trucker. I also don't plan on touring. i guess i'm saying i don't actually need a touring bike. Yet, i have this feeling it would be a fun bike to ride. and that's what i'm after, a fun bike, something i can ride fast, but really enjoy as a ride. can any LHT owners confirm my mystical inkling? If others can compare it to a crosscheck that'd be super too. thanks...
