It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

That thing looks slick AF ๐Ÿ˜

Admittedly a bit sporty for me though, nowhere to attach a pannier rack for shopping or make it a bit more practical from a utility perspective

That bike has pannier mounts. Look at the hole near the wheel and the hole near the seat tube.

Just had another look - looks like you are right! Initially I thought the mounting points near the seat tube were unthreaded, but it seems the threads are actually recessed quite deep inside

Why wouldn't you be able to add a rack? You just need the size of the tire. It goes on the bolts that hold on the back tire.

Edit: waaaaaait, I just noticed it

Found a solution, though: https://aeroe.com/products/spider-pannier-rack

You can totally install a standard rack, the bike frame has the standard holes, it looks like.

You're right, I thought they were absent due to the geometry of the bike.
