Pretty unique bike. I would set up my bike the same way if I was touring on it, with drop bars and 2.2" semi-knobby tires. I actually have a pair of those Teravail tires sitting around waiting for my next bikepacking trip.
It's definitely a unique bike. Very cool purchase if you can afford it. If not, definitely a good bike to use as a model for a long-distance, off-road touring rig.
