No. But it weighs 16kg which is heavy! Depends what sort of touring you are planning but I would go for a second hand Dawes Galaxy/ridgeback/genesis over this monstrosity

Monstrosity?

Human weight 75kg, stuff weight 15kg.
A 12kg bike vs a 16kg bike is only saving 3.5%. You're not going to notice that.

Decathlon stuff is great. Go for it.

The difference is more than what a platypus weighs... you think you wouldn't notice a platypus on your bike???

I agree, snobbery plays a part. Myself included
