Bikes: Ron Cooper touring, 1959 Jack Taylor 650b ladyback touring tandem, Vitus 979, Joe Bell painted Claud Butler Dalesman, Colin Laing curved tube tandem, heavily-Dilberted 1982 Trek 6xx, René Herse tandem
Huffy-era Raleighs! And all cantilever-equipped 1980s tourers that do not say "Miyata" or "Trek" on them. Also rigid steel MTBs like the Pug Orient Express or Univega Alpina. They're basically gravelbike starter kits.
And at the risk of repeating myself I'll give the Vitus 979 a shout-out as well. The exact same thing Sean Kelly won his races on, and you can have it for a couple hundred dollars. Underrated by the economy anyway.
