Do you really need touring bars for long distance comfort when you have gearing that small?

I'd put a nice set of North Road bars on that. Sit you upright a bit, comfy hand position and general all-round chilled out riding style. I'm also feeling Sturmey Archer 3-speed out back? Sort of contemporary twist on touring bikes of old.

Hi do you think gearing is really that small, I thought 18T was pretty large really, although I do have a 20T, but as I am using 36T upfront at moment I thought it would be quite Loose pedaling.
The Sturmey 3 speed /Nexus is my next wheel build. Had it before and wish never sold it. Really enjoy the simplicity of 3 speeds.
