A year and a half ago when I was shopping for a new bike frame for general riding but not loaded touring, if I saw that I would have seriously considered buying it at that price. Photo includes a headset, but that is not mentioned in the text. The specs tab suggests that the travel bag is included.

But that page mentions 28mm tires, I would want wider. I did not see a tire specification on the bike (full build) page. I wonder what the widest that you can fit with and without fenders is?
