Windsor Tourist: Capable and adequate for a long tour in every way except inadequate gearing. Some may be put off by their flavor of ad copy, but it doesn't bother me.

Surly Long Haul Trucker: Nice bike, but I hate bar end shifters.

Cannondale Touring 1: Stupid choice of components, the 2 is a far better bike for touring.

Rivendell Atlantis: The fact that it comes from Rivendell is enough reason for me to not even consider it. I want to puke every time I read an opinionated article on their site, or hear someone refer to PBH or an S24O. Not sure exactly why but their particular flavor of BS is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. But on the plus side if you like this bike I know where you can get a $100 hatchet to go with it. To be fair they probably sell quality stuff I just can't get past the BS.
