Try and find one of these http://www.mit.edu/~cforest/hobbies_...h%20Kodiak.htm

This was the ORIGINAL rough road touring bike. I had one and loaned it to my neice and never saw it again. She divorced her husband who was using it and that was that.

This was a spectacularly great touring bike. They sold new for something like $350!

Another suggestion - there are a lot of 80's Schwinn Paramounts around and most of these make VERY good touring bikes. Some even have eyelets on them.
