Hey Bikepackers,
I'm in a bit of a unique situation and could really use some advice from experienced bikepackers and gravel riders. Next week I am in China and planning to buy a bike from Twitter (Gravel V3) for my first long-distance tour, but I'm finding it challenging to get all the specifics due to language barriers and limited access to detailed information and my own lack of knowledge.
I will be on the way for around 2000km and therefore looking to use either a rear mount (bycicle rack/luggage carrier) or two side mounts on the front fork. (There doesn't seem to be any front attachment cabalities. Like I said, I am not sure about the back due to my lacking knowledge). What should I do? Do you recommend that I should look at alternatives over Alibaba or buy in China directly?
Here are some pictures:

Personally I would not even consider an aero road bike for a tour, let alone a 2000 km one. I’d rather get a gravel bike with more comfy geometry, wider tire clearance and mounting points for racks.
Ok two points, one this bike has no capacity to mount anything. Two, there is really a better sub to ask questions about this kind of bike.
