Nobody should ask for criticism on bike forums unless they have a very thick skin.

Looks comfortable. You should post it in touring forums and see what they think.

Why?? It's a run-of-the-mill bike. It's for riding. Go ride it.

I'd rather suck half digested eggs through a straw from an incision in my own hernia than ride that thing. But that's just me.

I'd stick my fingers down your throat and eat your pukey half digested egg with a spoon before I rode that thing. But that's just me.

Guys - it's set up for touring. It's not for racing. It would only be a Fred-mobile if OP showed up at a threshold training ride with that bike.
