I've gotten a few emails about the shiny bits I put on my LHT. So here are the details:
Surly LHT 52cm (original color was green...powder coated to Coffee Tan) - $150
Handlebars: Albatross (cut off about 2 inches on ends with a pipe cutter..in the picture it's flipped..currently it's right-side up)..purchased from Riv.
Handlebar tape: Brown cloth tape with a coat of amber shellac (I've recently re-wrapped it with a layer of regular black cork tape and the cloth tape on top...chunky but dampens vibrations!)
Shifters: Shimano bar-ends (recently upgraded to Silver bar-ends...love them! Review in a future post)
Brake Levers: Tektro brake levers (has two settings to adjust for cable pull)
Stem: No name plain silver stem (120mm I believe)
Headset: Silver Cane Creek S3
Front Rack: Mark's Rack from Rivendell
Rims: Velocity Dyad (32h - front, 36h - rear) purchased from Peter White
Hubs: Front is a Shimano Dynohub...Rear is a LX 9speed
Tires: Panaracer Paselas with folding bead 26x1.25 (would like to go a touch wider)
Cassette: SRAM...not sure exactly which one, but it's a 9 speed...big cog is 32
Cranks: NOS Shimano XTR crankset (170)
Pedals: Grip King / MKS Touring Lambda pedals
Bottom Bracket: Shimano Square taper...replaced plastic cup with metal one...
Front Der: Used XTR front
Rear Der: Used XTR rear
Seatpost: Kalloy in the photo, recently upgraded to Velo-Orange big set-back seatpost.
Saddle: Dark Brown Brooks with copper rivets
Saddlebag: Carradice Camper Longflap, attached to Carradice SQR bracket..purchased from Peter White
Rear Rack: Tubus Cosmo (new style) purchased from Wayne at TheTouringStore.com (great seller!)
Brakes: Tektro CR720 from Velo-Orange...replaced front pads with Salmon KoolStops form Riv.
Fenders: SKS 60mm (wide mothers!)
Bottle Cages: Velo-Orange
Bottles: Kleen Kanteens with sport tops form Velo-Orange
Bags: Front handlebar bag is an Ostrich Handlebar Bag, rear are Ostrich panniers...all of them from Velo-Orange.
Hope this helps! Not quite my dream bike frame-wise (Riv. Atlantis), but I've got all the components I wanted and some exra dough to go touring :)
