It obviously depends on what you want, where you ride, the loads you carry, etc.

That being said, I'm partial to a sturdy and stable bike that accepts wide tires with fenders, and the LHT perfectly fits the bill. Amongst interesting features :

– Room for 700x37 or 40 tires with fenders, which means you could also use it with wider tires on horrible streets, or with studded tires in Winter.
– Gears that are low enough for long steep hills even when loaded, yet high enough for most fast peloton rides (if you need higher than that, you're a racer).
– The bike will be very stable even if you pack 80 lb of groceries on the rear rack.

Now if you prefer a livelier sportier ride, either get something different or equip it with 700x30 tires.
