Bikes: 2010 Surly LHT (main rider and do-everything bike), 2011 Bike Friday NWT (back-up bike and multi-modal)

Gosh, it's been years since I posted here, but...

I finally got the money to pony up for one of these (2010 model)! It's a totally awesome bike, and I got mine in Truccacino Tan, just like the OP

After doing some shakedown rides and checking out the frame, I can really see why people called it a copy of the Rivendell Atlantis when it was first released. My 54cm LHT has insane tire clearance on the frame and fork. I think I can even throw down a set of fat mountain bike knobby tires and do some light trail riding on it. I'm not interested in doing much off-road mountain biking anyway, but it's a nice little option to have.

It's my one and only bike...and I don't have a problem with that, even though I really want to get more bikes for my stable. For one thing, I like the ride fo the Cross-Check more, but I am a practical man, so that's why I pulled the trigger on the LHT instead. Now I just gotta wait until I have all my equipment ready to tour with
