Just put a front basket on. It originally came with front racks but I only have large rear panniers so the basket its more fitting for doing stuff around town. Its an absolute tank, weighing about 34 pounds but makes a great adventure bike. Anybody else rocking an REI bike in here?

Nice đź‘Ť
What a beauty.. love the orange highlights.
Congratulations on the bike and setup.
I just got my bike yesterday (gravel-esq bike with drop bars like yours) and my plan is to set it up like you have here for commuting.
How long and often do you plan to commute ?
And how does the bike feel now to ride.. do you feel the extra weight ?
How’s the front rack with the weight? I stick to the rear panniers since the rear basket I first tried was terrible with top weight.
Your setup is a beauty!
Very niceđź‘Ť The only problem with Co-op bikes is that there’s always some funny guy with a marker pen around. Poop.
Is that the roswheel rear rack? Have pushed mine to the weight max with no problems yet!
Really nicely done
Very nice. I’ve got the REI adv 2.1 and have been loving it.
Put thousands of miles on an older REI randonneur. Wonderful commuting bike and that steel frame is smoooth
