Both bikes ride like Cadillacs loaded or not.
That is a gorgeous bike. But I would have used fenders. I like the extra cage behind the seat tube on your bike.

On my Rohloff bike, I run a 44T chainring around home but for touring I use a 36T chainring. And I sometimes use the bigger ring in the outer position as a bashguard when I have my chain on the touring ring in teh inner position. But your chain is on the outer ring so the outer ring is not used as a bashguard. I am a bit confused by your choice to have a double crank, care to elaborate?
