LHT with 26" wheels is closer in handling to the CrossCheck than it is to the LHT with 700c wheels. For me the CrossCheck feels like a comfortable riding road bike, not a road racing bike. The 700c LHT at least the 56cm one I had likes to go straight and like the 26" version can carry a lot of rear load weight without making the front end whippy. I didn't particularly like the 700c low speed handling with or without load.
