By brother just built up a Surly Ogre in one size DOWN from the largest. It's *slightly* more heavy than an LHT and allot bigger. As the forks don't get any longer he chose the second biggest size and it fits great. He and I ride about the same size road bike (64cm). The Ogre can be taken on ro

Good luck in your search, Jared. Just wanted to chime in that the 64 LHT is similar in geometry to the 67 AHH. We recently sold a 62 cm LHT to a guy who has a 65 cm AHH that we were trying to match fit-wise, and they were pretty close in all the relevant measurements. In fact, I thought he'd be

Ryan, Thanks for the inspiration. I'm still looking for someone who is looking to shed a 64 SH, 62 Hunq, 64 Bomba, or 67 AHH. If I don't find one soon I'm going to break down and buy a 64cm Surly LHT but it will likely be too small. I hope someone will save me from this fate! I'm 95-96cm in th

Hi everyone. I had some great offers but someone responded from a few blocks away with a Rivendell Rambouillet that wasn't getting much attention due to his amazing collection of great bikes (he rides his Bleriot mostly). It was way more than what I was looking for but I couldn't pass it up. Onc

TT is 58 CC. How tall are you? I'm 6'1". I'm not sure what the seat and head tube angles are on this bike. But as these change, so does the TT length for a given reach. The total can be controlled through stem length, which leaves TCO as the final variable. TCO, as well as Trail will be

Thanks! I'm probably sticking so a 64 mostly because (most of the time) the top tubes are longer. Whats the top tube on tour Trek? That is a very nice bike though and along the lines of what I'm looking for. - Ryan On Friday, April 6, 2012 1:11:13 PM UTC-7, MichaelH wrote: > > Ryan, I have

Ryan, I have a 61cm 1984 Trek that fits your description to a tee. I have thought about selling it from time to time because the fit and ride is almost identical to my 62cm Ramboulet. Maybe this is the time to do it. Trek advertised this as a "touring bike" but it is really a sport touring
