This model year, and for sure all others after, werent touring bikes and didnt have eyeletd for rack and fenders.
They were marketed as semipro race and triathlon bikes.
The geometry and build isnt good for touring and it isnt what i would consider a typical commuter bike.
I love mine, but i use it for just road riding.
