I agree. An LHT is a fantastic option to Riv out. Pretty much the only reason I didn't choose a LHT was that it's head-tube angle and fork rake combine to give a trail measurement in the mid-60's, which is where my current bike is and I want a trail measurement of 60mm or less. My bike originally had 74mm of trail and a new fork changed it to 66mm and it was a night-and-day difference for me, so high trail is definately not for me. I figure I might as well drop into road bike trail measurements (58-62mm....where most Riv's fall).
