Mine is a bit unimaginative compared to the others on this thread, a Dawes Super Galaxy from about 1982. I'm in the process of fettling it and trying to smarten it up a bit. I've not been anywhere much on it yet but it's proving to be a lot nicer than my Fox to ride on 10-15 mile local runs and it feels tough enough to take the odd shortcut on farm roads.

Heres my Long Haul Trucker
It replaced my Koga Miyata World Traveler
The Trucker is great and is quite versatile, commute, day run, weekend, longer or just pulling my lad in his trailer, it does it all without a complaint.

Some great bikes here..

Heres one I'm putting together for my cousin. Not finished yet, gonna be 1x10 speed.

I cant work out what size ring to go for up front? 11T-36T cassette

If you are taking a decent touring load then you need at least a 1:1 ratio, so that should give you and idea on chainring size.
