Selling my trusty LHT as I've replaced it with a Marinoni. It was purchased in Tokyo in September 2015 and ridden across parts of SE Asia to Delhi. It's been used and abused but it's still in good nick considering. Asking 450 GBP including the rear rack and panniers. First person within the M25 to match the price is the owner. Happy to deliver in London while I'm there.
Just double checked the measurements and I got 59cm centre of seat tube to head tube and 60cm centre of BB to top of seat tube. Sold as pictured (+rear rack and panniers) minus the Nitto rack and Carradice handlebar bag mount.
For full disclosure here's what needs repair/replacement.
Rear hub has tons of play and needs to be repaired/replaced. There's a new (-500km) cassette on it and the braking surface on the rim still has plenty of life. Also, the rear tyre was a cheapo from India and is worn out.
Large chainring is seriously worn, some teeth half there others fine. I was riding last summer and it wasn't horrific but I wouldn't set off on a tour with it like that.
One of the Ortlieb large rolltop panniers shows a spark of daylight through the bottom and needs a patch.
Bar tape and hood are pretty battered but it's more aesthetic than feel.
Everything else feels and looks fine. The groupo is Shimano XT but with Tektro levers and brakes and bar-end shifters. At the moment it's with me in Abruzzo but I'll be flying into London with it on the 19th of April and will be in the city til the 26th. I can meet anytime while I'm there if you want to have a look before you buy. Happy to provide more details if you want to know anything else.
Great opportunity for someone to build it into a reliable touring bike again.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
