Not the best pictures but they will have most of their pieces and wheels, and as for sport touring does that mean i need to have smaller or lighter pannier bags?
Let me know what you guys think.
Thank you

It would probably require more speeds tho as they are usually 14 or 15 speed
A “sport tour” bike was the hybrid bike of the early 80s. They were supposed to be capable of fast road rides and loaded touring. They did both poorly. I’ve toured on a sport tour bike and found it to provide the scariest downhill I’ve ever experienced. The load is cantilevered off the back of the bike and made the steering very vague which is not something you want on a long steep downhill. The wobbly aluminum racks of the day didn’t make matters any better. I’ve done a lot of downhills since then on bikes with better designs and never experienced anything like that.
