I think the '90's are having a moment.

Looks nice enough but kind of limits your options in the future.

My mate has had a 29" Inbred for around 10 years. In that time it's been 2x9, 1x10, hub geared, carbon forked, suss forked, road biased, off road biased, cross ready, etc, etc. My Whippet has similar possibilities so I'll probably keep it a fair while.

The featured bike kind of has to stay as is so might not have the longevity?

Ooh I don’t know ... You could buy it, go on one tour, get a bit wet, leave it in the shed for a year, then read a magazine and kit it out with a long low stem, light weight parts, short bars and get into XC enduro-grav; then after a couple of seasons you could put it back in the shed and forget about it until you wake up one day and realise you’re married with kids and have got to get the littleun to school and the Skoda is acting up again. Amazon a baby seat and slap it on with P clips and zip ties and you’re loving the nursery run once more; then you get chatting to the other dad with a moustache who is rocking a Dutch bike, and he thinks your lightweight xc enduro-grav baby wagon is so cool and reminds him of when he used to rock a gravel bike: you exchange messages and a few flat whites and decide to set up an instapp group for old bikes, reminiscing about how your Dad used to type shit on one of those bike ‘forums’ BITD ....
 
Bag mounts? Under the down-tube? WTF.

Surely at best you mean a little satchel or pouch for rusty tyre levers and vulcanised rubber glue set hard like concrete.
