put in a deposit and ordered a custom built LHT from mosquito on saturday, really looking forward to picking it up in a few weeks time. it's got a great honest spec that's a bit better than their standard issue, and I've got nitto raddoneur bars going on there too which i'm excited about.
next task is to pick some pedals, specify which brooks saddle to go with it, and find a rack and panniers.
pedals, i'm thinking some MKS road pedals with toe clips. don't want cleats on this bike. any suggestions for supportive, well built pedals with a classic look?
saddle, either brooks b17 or the one with stiff springs on the back. not sure whether springs are a good shout. i'm about 160 pounds, reckon it'll make a difference?
grateful for any thoughts on sprung / unsprung saddle questions and the pedal search, it is a functional bike after all.
