Next step, the LHT at Walmart!
30 MM on the wheel base, nominal IS what makes a difference, and defines something as touring vs. non touring. I've measured a bunch of bikes and in big boy sizes those 30mm are sometimes up to 50 even thought he chart says all the frames are 43. Most classic frame road dimensions are fairly small increments.
Are the current Surly LHTs powdercoated? Once they dumped the green I thought the new sparkly ones where sprayed paint like most bikes.
I recently dumped the Giant OCR bike I was building in favor of an LHT. I had to go out of my way to track down a Sage green LHT in 58cm. I surely hope Surly doesn't go the McD generic route with their paint and colors.
