RE: your worst touring bike, not really.

I say my worst is the one I  built , it's great, But I don't use it .

It's a medical issue..  I'd rather not go blind..

Old gear .. 13 - 32 or 34 freewheel 6 speed or 7 .

Bullseye Freewheel hubs
48/40  spoke combination  622-40 tires
experimental frame design with dual top tubes, side by side .
works great  .. no rear rack load induced oscillation.
25 year old Bruce Gordon Racks..

 80's Campag Mountain Bike derailleurs friction/ratchet shifters
 a collection ofold steel chainrings 110 -74 50/38/24t
tend to replace my chain after a summer's trip,
so Its fresh to start on the next one..

Use 2 other bikes most now A Rohloff gear hubbed trekking bike
Panniers to get groceries .
[linear shifted twist grip is Ideal when Its pissing buckets out
and Im In Raingear with My hood up..

as you don't hunt for and double shift to find the right gear
 amongst  various cogs.]

and  a Brompton  Folding bike..  because its fun..

rides are local Today's goal ..   have a few pints..
