We have three Surlys in our household. Two LHT's and a Big Dummy. I'd say the Big Dummy has more of a cult following than the LHT. When I got my LHT it was a plain bike with XT hubs and a RD plus a killer Sugino XD600 crankset. It's still pretty much the same these days except the price went up by $200 and they switched out the crankset. Still a wise buy but not like it was in 2008.
Ha ha, yes! The same panniers and I love the things. They are still doing great and are the first ones I ever made with all the leather trim sewn by hand.

OK if I had the money I wish a big dummy could fit in my ellivater I had to sort of make my own out of 2 bikes. I want one so bad and I would put a Surly nice rack on it,,, O man I love that look!
