Mostly a blend of 9 speed Shimano drive train including the bar end shifters. Generic triple crank set. The only thing I have changed is the brakes, stem and saddle. As you can see, racks and fenders added for touring.

The only time I use this bike is for loaded touring and it rides and handles great with a load. I have spent all day slogging along loaded and have never felt beat up by the bike. If you are shopping for a touring bike, the LHT should be on your short list. I have other bikes for club rides etc but I have seen people use theirs for casual recreational rides.
@bobj, I did indeed get your private message - many thanks! - and I replied to it on the same day!

Having said that, I've just double-checked both my inbox and outbox, and there is no sign either of the message I received from you or the message I sent to you. I'm not sure why that is...

Some shots from the dirt road version of ididaride today. First organized ride ever for my daughter. She is a trooper as this was only her second ride of the year and she road a heavy fatbike up the hills that others were walking! And one of the crew pre ride. Get well soon Dave!

45 miles out and about in Bedminster on some really nice gravel roads with a couple of long climbs.

I have no record of messages either. No idea what is going on. Enjoy your summer.

Photos from your rides

Spent a few days spinning about the NW corner of Oregon (Astoria, Lewis & Clark region). Lovely region, delightful people, quite enjoyable...

New sign that I just noticed on one of the regular routes.

If I didn’t feel slow enough already...

Enthusiasm to ride trumped common sense: too much smoke in the air today, but there were fresh softball size Suncrest peaches to enjoy along the way.

Shakedown ride of Provence/Maritime Alps trip. Vence (outside Nice) along beautiful gorgeous to little hilltop town of Gourdon. Beautiful ride but I hope we get some respite from the 90+ heat wave!
