Mountain bikes with rigid forks make great tourers.
 
Rigid mtn bikes convert well to touring. I took my Bear Valley with me this summer and whilst away saw some someone else using one as well but fully converted with drops. I'd have changed those tyres though, for a more road going one, makes a huge difference to the ride. Well done on the ride as well.

Almost every mid-to-high end CrMo steel mountain bike made between 1983 and 1989 will, even in fifty years, continue being a mountain bike or a city bike, or a tourer or commuter or a magnificent grocery hauler, or whatever else you want to convert it to. Did you get rid of yours? Too bad, shouldʼve kept it, because they truly donʼt make bikes like those anymore.
