tbh I've not been away beyond long weekends in a while (trying to hold down a long distance relationship - using hols to bugger off on my own is not happening). The 'tourers' on the short trips:

R20, on the south coast.

On One 456b, Wessex Ridgeway

Orange P7, Ridgeway.

Yes I carry to much for weekends.

Is that a standard Raleigh 20?

Forgive my ignorance.

Forgive my ignorance.

Also what gears are you using, my Raleigh Twenty and me parted last year

My Trek 7.1 in full load out mode. Rides surprisingly well even with all the gear on.

No, almost everything's been changed barring the frame. I'm not sure you'd want to tour on a stock Raleigh 20. 3 speed hub, steel rims with canti brakes, mightn't fit you if you're pushing 6 foot, flexy rack, etc.

Also what gears are you using, my Raleigh Twenty and me parted last year

It's a 8 speed Nexus on the back. Luckily it shares the same chainline as the 3 Speed Sturmy Archer, if you invert the sprocket. It's okay but not quite got the full range for touring, for my liking at least.

Sounds like a great idea, have you put the 'hand luggage' option to the test? It's something I wouldn't mind doing when I've sold the Airnimal Rhino and purchased a Brompton with the funds.

Sorry for delay This bag is a small Carrdice bag which I got with bike.

..and here is my touring setup

Mmmm looking good. Seriously considering giving Brompton Touring a go. It will certainly be adifferent experience to the Surley Disc Trucker. Thinking about one of the European river routes and the folder on the train. You have a good set up there.

Also have a look at what @Fab Foodie has done touring on a Brommie.

This is my Paul Hewitt Chiltern light tourer/Audax bike. A super comfortable 653 frame, I love this bike.
