Sweet. I was hoping 2"ers would fit on it, my LBS told me they wouldn't. I found this page on Joe's blog:

Great writeup. Thanks to you both.

Garmin has a $30 rebate on the Edge200 right now. I stumbled on it after purchasing one from REI (they neglected to tell me about it.) You have to get it by 8/31.

Here's a pic of my setup for a month long tour in Chile and Argentina last November/December. 54cm Long Haul Trucker, International touring mode. I built all the bags minus the seatbag myself.

Hey Addy. I'm thinking about converting my LHT over to more of this kind of setup as well. How do you like the straight bars on it? And what tires you rolling?

Hi all. Awesome site, thanks Scott!

My name is Eric. I'm a mountain biker and a bike tourer and recently I've found myself merging the two a lot. Hoping to do the GDMBR next summer but excited for some shorter trips in the local (Southern California) area in the next couple months. If anyone wants to do some weekend trips down here, hit me up.

Here I am back when the LHT was only used on roads and before I wore a helmet (before my first crash):
