Nice! One of those bikes where I have the feeling that mudguards would look great. But then it would be "Icarus Tourer-Forest Service Green" without the Light. But who needs all-rounder, when we can have "custom made for demand bikes"!

Fell in love the moment I saw on the Radavist. It's perfect and has strongly inspired my new bike! Cheers.
