And while your zeal for your LHT is admirable remember, other people think differently than you and might have other opinions.
Have to say... I dont like the LHT. Lots of friends have it. Nothing I can really pin down as wrong with it. Just isnt' my bag, dont like the ride. A matter of fact, the last group tour I was on, two of the three on the LHT had small issues here and there with comfort. Not that it was the bike per se just that it was strange to me that they had some of the issues they had. All experienced riders also. Them or bike? who knows, I just found the situation strange.
I have toured on a Fuji Cross Comp and have a Trek 540. Nope, neither are Rivendell bikes nor LHT. I would love to try some extended riding on the Atlantis though just to compare. The 3 miles I have done just aren't enough to really get a feel for it.
How does such steadfast devotion for the LHT end up in the Rivendell thread anyway. Sort of like a Yankee fan at a Tigers or Mets game I suppose.
