Oh, for crying out loud, give it a rest already! You've got an awfully big bug up your butt about the fixed-gear thing. I don't happen to think that they're necessarily a practical solution for most people in most situations, but the knee-jerk nastiness from you is getting pretty old. Didn't your mother teach you how to disagree respectfully?
To the OP: Here's my touring/commuting bike sitting in the sun on a lovely day last summer. I had just finished setting it up with new tape, cables and brakes - it reflects what I see as fulfilling my adventuring requirements - it took me 330 miles into Maine a month or so before that photo was taken. Enjoy:
