Neat big A, same bars as the LHT. How long have you had the troll set up like this.?
How do you like it so far?
Those are ET's aren't they? Look into those flexible fender things I put a link in one of those fender or dirt threads. Zip tieing them on works great, super light, and really do a reasonable job.
fun to see it. I ride a c17 and it's not bad, my opinion of it had changed for the better, but for mostly seated riding, I still find my b17's are more comfortable.
I bought the Troll frame used, two years ago. I intended to tour on it last year but things came up and I never got out. Originally I moved a lot of my LHT parts over, including the handlebars
I've been fiddling with it and swapping in other parts, including the ET's. I like it so far, but have not done any touring on it yet. I was a little surprised that it came in 3+ lbs heavier than my expedition-rigged-LHT.
As for the C19 I've been riding it on my fixed-gear for a while now. I wanted a waterproof saddle that would work for commuting. I like it but I agree with you, it's not the same as leather. I'm still not 100% sure it'll remain for the tour.
I've got the Troll dialed into my liking and looking forward to at least a couple of weeks out touring on it.
