Oribt Caraway

[roundisland]

Looking around for diffrent options for a 26" wheel touring bike. I've seen this one an Orbit Caraway apparently the seller paid £620 for it 10yrs ago.

I want a stiffer frame (currently have 1990 dawes galaxy) to carry a bigger load and able to handle a bit of rougher stuff. Does anyone know this bike or have any thoughts about it, good or bad!

Thanks

how do you know they are 26 inch wheels. It doesn't say. Is it steal for carrying more loads (doesn't look aluminium which needs to be a lot thicker to carry weight)

How many spokes for carrying weight?

detailed info on Orbit Caraway 2000RT here (not same model but gives an idea of their quality)
