The Truckaccino Has Arrived
1 Attachment(s)
I Picked it up yesterday.:love: This is my first real touring bike. Just put the cages and pedals on but still have not had a chance to ride it. I'm going to steal a computer and fenders from other bikes in my harem sometime today so I can ride in this wet snow we're getting.

Nice, I really like that color.

Handsome bike, but seeing ice on the porch makes it a sad picture!

Looks a nice ride. Just don't go riding in the desert and leave it any where. |
Congratulations on the new ride Louis.
Here's to many miles and many smiles. |
Man, that's one long wheelbase. It's gonna ride like a limo.
My wife just got a Cross Check, and if you lie your LHT anywhere near as much as she likes her Surly, you'll be one happy rider. Enjoy! |
Thanks for all the good words, everyone. The guys at the LBS were as excited as I was. It's the first truckaccino color LHT they've seen so far.

It's gorgeous.....................but one (two actually) small thing (s)....................those plastic things in the spokes...................I can accept spoke protector discs but those......................things...:twitchy:

I just finished installing the fenders and computer. Still no ride yet because the roads are covered with ice and snow. |
Very nice bike! I had never seen that color, even in a bike store - thanks for posting.
I was on the first big group ride of the year here ("The Chilly Hilly") and saw several LHT's out on the road -- but none that color. Always nice to be the first kid on the block with something new, isn't it? |
Very nice clean looking all purpose bike. Will be looking for a ride report.
As to the reflectors, heck, I, even Tom "Fred" Bombadil, took off my wheel reflectors on the 1st day. |
Beautiful Louis, you said you were looking and you finally did it, congratulations on the new ride.:thumb:

Thats not ice. It's an aid to keeping the bike nice and clean for another few days.

Very nice, Louis. Congrats on the new ride. Give us a report and pics after the Spring thaw.

The fenders will keep the ice and snow off you:D We didn't get much snow in this corner of Ohio. We did get a lot of "slush" that froze over night making my drive a skating rink again:( It's just too cold for me. I'm waiting for some 40F weather.
I love the color! I realize I'm used to race bikes, but with those fenders and rack trunk installed, the LHT is beginning to look like a full dress Harley. Of course it only weighs Half as much.:rolleyes: |
Congratulations on the LHT. I recently purchased a LHT, but I got the olive green color. Did not wait on the great color you have.
Riding the LHT has been great. I probably have 400 plus miles on it, but the good part is that I have 100 miles on it fully (and I mean FULLY) loaded. It rides the best when loaded. Are you installing a front rack for panniers? The LHT likes the weight on the front wheel. Good luck and I hope you have many many great miles of tour riding. |

I have a Blackburn low rider front rack hanging under my workbench somewhere. I only plan to install it when I decide to actually do some touring. |
Congrats on a very plush looking ride.
|
Sweet, that machine looks rugged enough to tour anywhere, ENJOY!:thumb:
|
Oooh, what a pretty bike!
Congrats! Looking forward to a ride report...probably not as much as you're looking forward to riding it... |

Louis, you dog. I had no idea you had such good taste.

Like me, do you find that wheel reflectors interfere with your baseball cards?

I must admit that my 1987 Bridgestone CB-1 still has its spoke reflectors on it.

Nice looking bike, Louis. Enjoy. :thumb:

Ah, a bit of luck for Louis. I can't speak to the quality of Andel, but Sugino certainly has a more established track record. I would have been pleased by this discovery, had it been my bike.
