What's your budget, and are you looking only for second hand or is new an option?

I really like my 2018 Kona Wheelhouse. It's my commuter and long distance bike of choice. Permanently fitted with pannier and mudguards make it a perfect steel tourer and I have done a couple of 3 day mini tours on it and found it perfectly comfortable for successive long days in the saddle - www.cyclechat.net/threads/lets-get-together-hay-on-wye-cycle-camp-12-16th-sept-2019.248322
I will be doing LEJOG on it later this year (Covid permitting).
There is a 54cm size so this might be a good, modern choice if you can track one down.
Kona make some fine steel framed bikes. I believe they do a dedicated tourer, the Sutra which could be worth a look. Dawes also made some excellent tourers.
😂 thanks for the suggestions guys! Ive found a 56cm frame clubman for sale that I'm going to try out and see how it feels. I've been riding a 58cm for a while anyway, so I'm used to strange fits haha
