My feeling is you are asking for problems, but it will probably be fine. The rear wheel seems like the bigger concern to me. Whats the rim, spoke count, hub?
I once did a week long tour with my steel Lemond towing 50-70 lbs with no problems at all (I weigh about 150 lbs). You do see a lot of old steel out there touring with full panniers-- and I mean OLD steel. Great bike, looks great.
