To his defense, half of the things you mentioned were covered in his next story. Also, the ergostem is there because he shares this bike with his partner (i asked him in the comments)
Regarding the luggage, the bars and the klampers, even if i agree with you and I'd do differently too, those are a personal choice. I'm probably too much caught in "the vibe" to rightfully nitpick like you've done, but I reckon you're absolutely right about the overall potential!
Indeed! His attention to detail is off the charts
