I'm the guy that said the Breezer was too noodly for loaded touring. My last bike (got stolen) was a Novara Randonee touring bike - a "real" touring bike with oversized 4130 tubes. I'm 230 lbs., and in going from the Novara to the Breezer I could really notice the more flexi-ness of the Breezer.
So consider my weight and my previous bike when interpreting my claim that the Breezer was "too noodly to fully load up like a real touring bike."
