We received a few of the new Truckaccino LHT frames this week and already built one up for a good man in Cleveland.
This one’s a beaut. We dialogued for a good few days before we started the build. We went with a good mix of sturdy reliable parts with a touch of bling. Gary plans to ride this from Cleveland to Seattle next summer. We knew he needed a comfortable position and a moderate load capacity (he plans to have a sag wagon). We swapped the stock LHT bars for the Bonty Flat Top bars (a great h-bar for touring – plenty of real estate on top, short reach, medium drop, and nice extension of the drops toward the rider). This was a fun project.

hey that was a great ride. With a bit of clothing and the winter bikes all is possible. Thursday sounds like a good day to ride. I am tempted to start a Pugsley.

Too bad the “new” Tobie wasn’t around last year…. those -20 windchill rides would have been fun with someone else
I suggest riding the path through the golf course – there’s nothing like laying the first tracks on fresh snow!

Thanks, Tobie,
A new friend, Tamia Nelson,
who I found on the LHT discussion group, and had been talking with found your NCC post about my bike. Cool. A big thanks for our new relationship which I know will continue. Great to be a part of your club. Gary

[...] G. Sherck is happy. So happy, in fact, that he’s packing the dog and hitting the road to drive here from Ohio to pick it up in person. He’s been waiting since September and only in the last two weeks have all the parts become available. We will take this pile and make it functional over the next few days. [...]
