When I bought my San Marcos, I pulled the drivetrain off of my Double Cross
and put it on this LHT. I wanted to put a Sugino XD2 wide/low double on
it, but Rivendell didn't have any in stock, so I ordered an XD2 triple and
a XT derailleur. I am going to remove the fenders so I can put bigger

Tony, nice looking LHT. I wish I had picked up 40mm Duremes when they were
available.
I'll be heading out on mine tomorrow for a sub 36hr overnight somewhere in

That is a nice looking LHT. I have a black one with 26 wheels which I enjoy
riding. You gave your brother some good advice. Best wishes on the tour.

Smog white?/ sounds like a true LA color.

I'm sure he'll love that bike. Looks great although I do think he could
come down a bit on the bars as they look a bit high. But if that's where he
like them, then he should leave him. Somewhere on the Surly site it
mentions that their steerer tubes are sturdy and you don't have to worry
Looks good. I agree he should leave the steerer alone until he's 100%
comfortable with it. Don't hurry with the hacksaw.
Touring bike? check
Stout racks? check
Chubby tires: check
OK, load it up go! Have a good trip post pics.

Mike,
He was lamenting whether to go with 700c or 26 I told him with the
26 you'll have a vast choice of tires with different tread, and a
cushy ride. I do think he needs to lower the HB's and just have the
spacers above. I also recalled what you said about wishing you'd had
the 26 er which I
Doug,
Thanks for the kind words. I of course agree with holding off on
cutting too soon. His mechanic was in a hurry to cut it and he

This was my LHT set-up for its maiden voyage. Fenders and many miles have
since been added.
The nice thing about the 26ers is that you can fit a 2.15 tire, that
includes many mountain
Funny he's putting a VO stem on today. and he's already running the
Big Apples. 700 x 50 is impressive I imagine without fenders?

Before I got my Atlantis, I was talking to Riv about a custom for touring.
One of my specs was 26 wheels. To me, versatility is key, and for my
purposes 26 was preferable. Long story made short, I've never regretted
my stock 58 cm Atlantis with 700 wheels. But if I was a bike designer, I'd
BTW, I hadn't noticed the wheel size in the photo. Put a chubby tire on
26 looks just fine. Exactly!
