personally I love the LHT...I dont own one...yet
Ive just seen how versitile these bikes can be...it is a true utility bike thru and thru
as far as personal experience....my current commuter/ utility bike is a GMC Denali...LOL...my trek 850 is being redone and I needed something else to ride....
The Denali is junk....dont buy one unless you like to wrench on bikes and even then dont buy one....dont get me wrong Im not disappointed in my purchase...
I got what I payed for...
Personal experience will vary from person to person....
The questions are....
Can you wrench on a bike?
Are you anal about adjustments or do you do just enough to get by?
Is the bike stored inside....or outside and never lubed?
The LHT has a rep as being a tank...goes anywhere does anything and with a few mods can become the perfect everyman bike....
but its up to you....its your bike
btw that Brompton P6....ive added that to my list of wants
