It's a fine bike for touring. I bought one for my daughter last year and we did 3 weeks on the Lewis and Clark on it. It's not perfect but if you change the chainrings to a 48/38/24, it will be geared just right for touring. You might want to get another rear rack as well since the one that came on the 2001 model was pretty wimpy (we had to buy a new one in Lewiston, ID).
