That's me too. Love the LHT. Particularly love the 26" wheels on my 54, that was what swung it over to me vs say Jamis Aurora or the REI tour bike...
I think the spokeholders are a bit on the precious side (esp. w/ the complete coming w/ 26" 36 spoke wheels), though I can still mount my rear triangle kickstand around them, the pump peg I don't use (all hail roadmorph, which I have behind the seattube 'cause of the stellar clearance all around), and every time I try to hang the chain on the chain thingy it falls off. The 3rd bottle mount is nice though.
When I'm too old to bend over the dropbars, if it hasn't rusted away by then, just ready to pop on some north road style bars and keep on truckin'.
