Scott, Congrats to you and daughter on the new build. E has outgrown her 20" and we're in the market for something. Just borrowed a 24" K2 MTB and I don't think I can bear to see her ride it. Overbuilt and ugly. What size frame is the LHT and how does it fit you daughter? I like the LHT a lot, but think my wife is probably next in line for one of those. What I really want is a sweet urban steel skinny-tube bike with 24" wheels, but such an animal is as rare as hen's teeth. ps - you know, if you spend your money on bikes, you won't be able to afford to move away from Portland :-)
Cloth tape: better looking by far, and last longer, especially shellacked. I hear it can be padded underneath - never tried it. I figure if I need padding, I wear gloves. MJ - great to run into you on the Springwater. I got caught in one of those showers between Eagle Creek & Estacada. Left my water bottle on the counter so pretty thirsty when i got to the b-day party. fueled on cake and home on Springwater (road). Ended up being a near perfect 100K.

Got worked yesterday by riding a different bike/saddle and pretty sore today, including knee. May do the Ride Around Clark County instead.
