Sounds like everybody got predictably involved in debating details. I upgraded my LHT with a Rivendell Hunqapillar Frame a few years ago.

I can't imagine finding a better touring bike.

It was built to handle any terrain fully loaded and field tested on the Continental Divide Trail on a solo self supported tour from Canada to Mexico.

I've been using it for 4-5 week long trips a year as well as weekends and commuting year round in Michigan. It takes whatever I throw at it and looks damned cool in the process.
