>>1934214It's a fucking anvil, rides worse than my old Inbred (which is supposedly a budget frame made out of low grade steel) despite having fatter tires. Harsh and unforgiving ride, feels like every bump is transferred directly into your wrists and ass.
I don't know where this idea that for touring you'd want a stiff frame came from, but I can tell you that for spending whole days in the saddle, comfort should be your top priority.
Semi-related, I'm looking for a more compliant steel frame that will take 29x2.6 wheels and a rear rack. Currently my top contenders are Ritchey Ascent and the upcoming Singular Swift mk5, anyone got other suggestions?
