Nice review. I too have agonized over seatposts. I like Brooks saddles enough
to be afraid to invest $150+ in something with longer rails (Selle Anatomica
for example: intrigued, but frugal).
Getting behind the seat matters to me in ways lengthening the stem doesn’t

The Pelago can easily support that basket. I’ve also owned that VO rack and my
opinion is the Pelago is thicker and less refined in appearance, although not
crudely made. It has more options for mounting “feet”. The VO is a pretty rack,
I ran mine without the rail.

I have an older one (2004) and love it to death, though I do experience toe
overlap, and nowadays would probably have bought the next size up.
That said, it’s the only bike I have never considered selling.
I’m currently running 26” Super Yummy tires which seem fat enough, even too fat
maybe.
