posting again because i posted in the wrong thread:
I've had picrel for several years. Used it mostly for commuting up to 20 km each way. Lately I've been wanting to do longer trips outside of the city onto small towns with some gravel roads but also with some weight added in saddle bags and backpack. Realistically can I do that on a bike like this? Is there anything I should add to it? Should I just buy a steel frame bike if I want to start doing any kind of touring? I'm pretty cheap
