The LHT is very comfortable and stable, loaded or unloaded.

The photo with panniers shows the bike bagged out on an extended credit card tour. It's carrying about 35 lbs, including bags. Those are Arkel T-42 panniers on a Topeak MTX rack on back and Arkel GT-18 panniers on an AC LowRider rack up front.

The photo without panniers shows the bike configured for local or day rides, with a Topeak trunk bag.

I wanted trekking or butterfly handlebars from the start, but couldn't find any in stock when I bought the bike. Finally, after 6,500 miles I finally installed some.

So far, I find them more comfortable than either drop bars or
straight bars.
