Yeah, I know; if it's just a question of wearing out the frame, I'm going to have the LHT until I die. It's neither flashy nor high-performance, just good, kind of like what Volvos used to be.
I would kinda like a frame that can handle disc brakes, though; traditional cantilever brakes are pure hell on rims, especially in the winter. It seems like I have to replace rims (i.e., get a wheel build) every 12-16 months.
