Are you going to use panniers to carry your gear, or a trailer ?

I've never seen one in the flesh, but on paper it looks ok.
Funny it doesn't come with racks, guess you might not want
them if you use a trailer.

I reckon it'd be fairly hard to beat for the price. Nice wheels, being
around 100kg myself, that and gear, and the kids in the trailer,
you want good wheels.
