Hi everyone,

I am planning to do a bikepacking trip this summer. This is my first time doing this, and I am planning to either take the route from Belgium (east flanders) along the coastlines of France or inside of France until the South.

I was looking at affordable bike options (for a student) and have found this:

Would you recommend this for a first timer? If anyone has experience with it, would you recommend any modifications?

Thank you!
