I'd love to see your bike loaded and hear about what gearing you went with based on your location/trip. I looked through the "show me your bike" sticky but I did not come across anything fixed.

I am in the market for a dedicated fixed gear touring bike. Right now I am debating on new or a vintage frame build. Both steel frames. There really is nothing marketed as fixed gear touring bikes so a normal road frame with a few comfort mods and panniers will have to do the trick.

Any thoughts, suggestions, or comments on fixed gear touring would be much appreciated.
I've only toured on a derailluer bike, but was just looking at this http://cgi.ebay.com/Specialized-Tric...item33676e7e94 . It's got front/ rear rack braze ons, fender ready.
