I have long contended you can tour on anything YOU want to. I have seen high wheeled ordinaries, tadpole trikes, mountain bikes, expensive bikes, cheap bikes and everything in between. My favorite touring machine is my old 3 speed. It has it's limitations but is still my favorite ride. I occasionally do off road tours into a national forest via single track and fire roads, I don't use my 3 speed for those, but it probably would work if I didn't mind hiking more than riding.
