Ok. I’m bored. So I’m going to write the longest post anybody has ever written.
There are many ways to put bottles on a bike? Are you complaining that the bicycle has water bottle cage mounts? Are you serious?
Who said anything about touring? it’s not a touring bike, it doesn't pretend to be one either.. I said it would be an excellent bike for commuting. Bikes with aggressive geometry are fun.. Do you like having fun? And why would toe overlap be an issue? Do you have problems with toe overlap?
Fenders are overrated? the fact that you have linked a GCN video leads to me believe that a) you never ride when it's wet outside and b) you have never used full fenders. In the GCN video you linked, they are using clip-on “half fenders”, these are notoriously shit, they are better than nothing, but they are nothing compared to full-length fenders.. half-length fenders do nothing to prevent water splashing into the headset and the brakes from getting gunked up.
However, full-length fenders are excellent at stopping dirty water being kicked up. You would know this if you have ever ridden a bicycle with full-length fenders when the street is wet. Because the Tuto plus has very wide tyre clearance and V-brakes, it has room for full-length fenders.
