Bikes: 1997 Rivendell Road Standard 650b conversion (tourer), 1988 Schwinn Project KOM-10 (gravel/tour), 2013 Foundry Auger disc (CX/gravel), 2016 Cannondale Fat CAAD 2 (MTB/winter), 2011 Cannondale Flash 29er Lefty (trail MTB)

What the others have said. It should be OK.

Possible drawbacks:
* comfort - can you ride it for hours and hours? do you have multiple grip positions? how comfy is the saddle?
* carrying stuff - I don't think your Superfly has rear rack mounts. So, you can carry stuff with bikepacking bags that strap to the frame, seat, or handlebars. Or, you can tow a trailer. Another option would be to replace the shock fork with a rigid fork with rack mounts, so you could carry panniers on the front.
