Hey. It is not exactly what I need (touring with front and rear panniers...) but if I can't find anything else will consider it. Thanks.

It has eyelets for front and rear panniers, I have used it fully laden and it handles better than a super galaxy, I'm selling it as i don't see myself doing any fully loaded touring in the forseeable future

I know it has eyelets for panniers but it is a shorter bike than the sutra and that is a problem since I want to get rid of the drop bar. The sutra is already on the line since the frame is made for drop bar and I just want to try with the large frame maybe it is still useable with flat bar.

I have a set of 9x3 flat bar shifters and a flat bar, there is no problem with compatability Tombi, but I'll leave it with you
