It s a beautiful bike and you have done a wonderful job with it. I think it might be more of a sport touring bike than a loaded touring bike though. I say this because of the lack of upper rack mounts and the single eyelets front and rear. I think the eyelets are for fenders rather than racks. Someone else may be able to offer more insight, but that is my take on it. It is an awesome bike and should be be great for long rides, but not necessarily loaded touring.
