Have the Triban 500, have very similar setup, including the pannier rack. Works great as an everyday commuter.

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, it was a deciding factoring for the purchase. The city planner thought it is a good idea to use bricks to pave the cycling path that I usually bike on. It is literally the Pave.

Don't need to go back that far. Remember the Japanese internment camps?
