I have a Thorn Audax (now badged as Audax "classic") which is used for my LEJOG last month. I found it to be supremely comfortable, totally reliable, and it has a decent turn of speed. Not suitable for heavy duty touring due to the pannier rack weight limit (10 kg I think). The best bit is that I picked up the frame & fork in mint condition for £75 off ebay! So I now have a bike that would cost £1500+ new, for around £500 all in.
So keep an eye out on ebay - tourers tend to be very cheap.
