Nice looking ride. I hope to have a black 56 cm LHT frame ordered by the holidays to build up with the components I have on my current bike.

Yours does need a rack, and maybe some fenders. Bikes, especially good touring bikes like the LHT, just look naked to me without a a rear rack and some fenders. Wald does make those collapsible metal baskets.

Love the bike. Keep up the good work!
