Finally got my Blue Truckey

Received my LHT frame today and I have to say the blue looks awesome!!! I was set in getting the green but all the dealers I know are out so I just pulled the trigger and went for the blue and I am very happy w/ it. Too tired to post pics but I will post when I have this beast built.

The shop is supposed to get the frame on Monday and ship it out to me. I hope that I can get it built next weekend!

Hey, good for you!!
I just ordered mine this past Thursday.
I was hoping for the green to, but will end up with the green.
Might you have any pix you could share of your blue frame so that we can have a look see?
I can't wait for mine to arrive so that I can begin transferring parts from the old Schwinn frame over to the new LHT!

Well, here is a picture of my partially built LHT. It's definitely going to be an all around ride, on asphalt or off road. I might get a tad smaller tire for the rear. The Conti Vapors fits in the rear but barely. Looks like the front fork will fit a 2.1..

Yep, I have to admit the blue they picked is very nice. I wish they picked this color for the Karate Monkey or the Cross Check. That will be sweet.
