Just curious, Tony
After reading extensively I came to the conclusion that the LHT was the safest bet for a touring bike. I also knew that I wanted a Brooks saddle, butterfly handlebars, and v-brakes. So I purchased the frame and selected components.
The short answer is LHT built with Shimano's XT trekking group (780).
The longer answer would list several tweaks that I'll be happy to share if you think it could be useful.
