Well, the Sojourn has a great finish-- the paint is great, it's got a Brooks stock, WTB dirt drop bars, very nice rear rack, SKS fenders, frame pump, Avid BB5 disc brakes.

The reason the Sojourn is heavy is that it comes with a lot of good stuff. Load all that stuff (rack, fenders, pump, Brooks) on to LHT and I doubt there is much weight difference.

Because almost all bike companies put lower quality parts on bikes to lower the MSRP, the Sojourn wheelset isn't great. But it's still usable. I'd ride those wheels unloaded, no problem.

The LHT stock seat, however, is trash-- and it's missing fenders, rack, pump. Plus, the powder coat sucks (Surly ought to fix this)

Overall, the Sojourn is a great bike.
