There's a lot to be said for a bike like that. The only bike I've ever really regretted getting rid of was my '91 Rock Hopper, with its steel frame and rigid fork. I saw a similar one at a yard sale a while back, but the guy wanted way too much money for it - but one of these days I'll find one for cheap, weld on disc mounts, and build the commuter of my dreams.

In the meantime, I'm still in love with my (steel) LHT.
