What's wrong with you all? Have you all gone soft, that thing is awful. Gear ratios are too high to be ridden fully loaded, can't tell if they're tubs but if they are that stoopid, that rack looks like it couldn't hold a peanut and if it could the handling would be so adverse, pretty sure those single pull brakes couldn't provide enough power to stop a full loaded bike, vintage carbon wheels surely aren't advisable if the bike is ridden all year round as suggested by the picture i.e. road surface will be prone to freeze thaw therefore very potholed, no mudguards will make riding that thing more than unpleasant when the snow melts. Just my 2p
