My guess is that an LHT would be a bigger theft target than a Hillborne, as it is far easier to resell. I'd get a Sam.
I have 46cm noodles on the Sam, 48s on a monstercross. I don't notice the difference, but of course the bikes are different in many ways. I am 5"9.5". I also don't think the 48s look wide, even on a tiny 17" frame: http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2010/cc797-gernothuber0510.html (Look at second to last photo) Cheers, Gernot On Feb 23, 6:26 am, iamkeith <keithhar...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm a little over 6'1", and probably average shoulder width.
