It has rack and fender eyelets on the seatstays and dropouts,5M eyelets for two bottle cages on the downtube, andeyelets on the fork for fenders, mini-platform rack, and low rider rack, respectively.
You can equip the bike with fenders and racks for street riding, or you can take advantage of the numerous eyelets to swing it to travel specifications.
