If I may. I don't think this is a commuter or a city bike. This is meant to be a performance bicycle for the long distance rider. For such a rider a 32mm with fenders is adequate when covering 200-400 kms per day with bar bag and maybe a saddle bag or trunk bag on a rack. I believe this is more of a real randonneuse. That said it is perfectly capable of touring and commuting.

the top tube seems long and really my 1984 Nishiki Continental has all the features this bike has except 1-1/8" threadless.
