We don't know how heavy the OP is.  When I had my Rambouillet, I weighed
220 lb.  I routinely carried 5 lb in a Carradice whenever I rode it.
The weight was unnoticeable.  So if the OP weighs 175-185, he could
carry everything for a 10 day tour and still come in lighter than I was
just going for a 50 mile club ride.

Grant is, IMHO, extremly conservative in rating this bike as suitable
for <= 20 lb load.  The frame is stiffer than on the Jack Taylor
Supertourist, one of the finest touring bikes of the 1970s.
