>>1408883The frame looks slim but it's aluminium. The rack is a Racktime model, sub brand of Tubus. Regardless of what bike I'm gonna buy I would've bought a Racktime rack anyway because it has its own snapping system where you can just pop baskets and stuff onto it and even bolt snappers onto your own items. You can also hang stuff from the sides. That the rack is already included is just a nice bonus. I consider front racks a fashion trend and rather overrated.
I was asking whether I might be overequipped in that the commute is really short (3-4 miles a day) and majority cobblestone of varying bumpiness, and I might be served better by a comfier bike. But I also want something that's effortless and light compared to my current lumbering rusty 18 y/o hybrid.
