I like my 1971 Raleigh Super Course. It came with 27" wheels. I rebuilt it, also with 27" wheels.

I liked my 1975 Raleigh Gran Sport, too, long ago.

A lot of people like Fujis from that era. The S-10S was a handsome bike and well liked.

Quite so. Having the word "Tour" or "Touring" in the name means very little, most of the time.

126mm - or at least that's the hub that is in there today, but it might be that it was a 120mm from factory.
