I like the idea of the Raleigh Twenty (It's so hard to find a quality built bike these days!) but I sometimes worry about maintenance with such an old bike.
NWT with a Rohloff is the perfect travel bike. Very versatile hub, nice efficiency, very low maintenance, and solid as a rock. NWT also is a beast and can be loaded up. You can get a Birdy with a Rohloff, too, but not in the U.S. Actually the way Birdy is sold in the U.S. leaves much to be desired in my opinion. I'm also not too keen on the way they fold (small package, but awkward to do).
