Those Torelli bikes are very conservative for modern race bikes, and better suited to long stages than many of the tight clearance "crit" bikes. They are not always made of the lightest steel, but they do have an awesome reputation as fine riding bikes. Its not a real touring bike, the rack is clamped onto the stays, not bolted. For loads like this, a 3 point fixing like on a Tubus Fly rack is more than adaquate.
