I love my LHT. I have a few other bikes including a nice, light, and relatively expensive road bike, but the LHT is the one I enjoy riding the most. Just something about her that puts the biggest grin on my face. Although its not the fastest or lightest bike I own, it just feels like a 'pure' cycling experience.
I've been thinking about building another identical LHT just in case something happens to this one.
