Can anyone tell me where the LHT frame is made? Indirect information on Surly's website leads me to believe that they are in Minnesota, USA but I found no info regarding where their stuff is actually made. I like the idea of supporting domestic production, but it is not essential - just one of many considerations.
I had been planning on buying a Trek 520 (made in Wisconsin) but everytime I look at that nasty green color, I want to puke! I'm starting to get more comfortable with the idea of buying a frame and building up my own bike, reasoning that the experience will be handy for repairs/adjustments while on tour. I like the utility blue color of the LHT, and they will be offering it in black cherry soon - sounds very nice!
