Also, will your Redwood take a 2" fender?
I can't really reply as I don't have a LHT but I do believe Surly
offers great value (the cross check was first bike after 20 yrs of not riding)...
....the only reason I went with an atlantis is because I got a smokin' deal on a brand new one, shipped, including albatross bars from an authorized riv retailer (US$1000 couldn't beat that in a million yrs)
