I have been eyeing a Surly LHT with rack and fenders I'm looking around $1200 out the door. I have come across a Trek 720 in very good condition for about $700. I like the idea of a lugged frame, maybe I'm nostalgic, and I don't mind friction shifting. The trek has fenders, front and rear rack, some campy etc. With the savings of $500 I can upgrade a few things here and there but for the most part I think I'm good to go.
Has anybody ridden both. I've ridden the LHT not the Trek, but I imagine it rides like a classic Reynolds 531 of that era.
Any thoughts comments or advice is appreciated.
Thanks
