Nice build. Sharp looking bike. I've seen some other LHTs with MTB bars and wasn't a fan, but yours actually looks good.

Where'd you get your crankset? I've poked around online thinking about replacing the crankset on my LHT which I built up in the spring using an older second hand crankset. Only 22-32-44 Deore cranks I've seen were not square taper. Best new square taper Shimano anymore seems to be Alivio grade...

Have fun w/ the new rig!
