how do you find the handling when the front is loaded?
Mind, I have never ridden another (front) loaded bike, so I don't have any reference point or comparison I can make.
With that being said, I personally think it's fine, but I would probably define it as sluggish and heavy, yeah. For me it has never been a problem, have also descended with 50kph+ on MTB tyres without any trouble.
Bike is looking good! Are you thinking of mudguards?
Tijs, how do you find the handling when the front is loaded? I've never tried panniers on the front but this bike feels like it has a lot of trail, so just wondering whether it's sluggish and heavy?
