It depends on how the buyer intends to use it. The bike is definitely a looker. Metal fenders are definitely better looking than plastic. But plastic makes more sense in some situations.
When I read the description it really appears to me someone took off the racks, but it is definitely kitted up for serious touring. I have three bikes. The commuter has Honjos, the boulevardier has Berthouds, and the camper has SKS. Not that I am slighting the camper. I love the bike. The reason is when metal fenders get out of whack, you really need to be at your home shop to get them back into whack. SKS are much easier to pull or prod back into place, and are more amenable to a duct tape or zip tie fix if it comes down to that.
