Lots of good used touring bikes on Ebay if you know what to look for. I had a Lotus Eclair back in the day... factory front and rear racks!!!! Was stolen out of my back yard when I left it for a few minutes hanging on my garage-mounted repair hooks inside a fenced - in yard. It was my commuter and a great bike. Paid $75 I think. Tange full cromo frame and fork 25" frame, rock solid handling with 700/38 touring tires you could ride over anything...
