Sharp. I like how the red bits contrast with the frame. How are the aero bars when you have the panniers loaded down?

With the panniers loaded it's more stable (I can even ride no hands). Without the panniers, the steering is kinda twitchy...

Thats the most functional LHT I have ever seen.
How are the wheels? How was the service from Harris Cyclery?

Sweet! Nice ride, great racks! What is the front rack, is it a Nitto, or a Surly?
I'm betting the bag on the top tube is a Bento box (snack box) or a battery bag...

Looks like a Topeak Survival Gearbox. I prefer to mount mine on the seat tube in the same spot, but turned around and just under the seat stays - less obtrusive looking on the forward triangle and doesn't get in the way of the water bottle. They're neat little tool kits that just happen to be pretty cheap.

Hehe yep it's a topeak gearbox. The rack is a Surly nice rack, and the snack bag's from nashbar (pretty handy)...
