If you are interested in the LHT, call Pacific Coast Cycles in Oceanside. Bit of a haul for you but a straight shot down the 5. They routinely have a few in stock. That's where I went when I was shopping for one. Great shop, a true LBS. I do love my LHT but I'm using it less and less since I bought a Big Dummy this year. If you're hauling a kiddie trailer up hills, I'd look at doing a 24T granny on whatever you purchase.
