How do

Right - I don't need a new bike. I've got bikes that do everything I could ever possibly want to do on two wheels. However, I've just gone back to being a permie and they have the Bikes2Work scheme which seems too good to turn down.

So, having had a think I've decided I want a full bore touring bike. One that you could ride to the ends of the earth on, and then back again. I know Mike hall did it on a Dirty Disco cross frame, but he's nuts. And I'm fat. So that won't work.

I realise a bag-o-sand won't buy me much but my LBS will accept the voucher and I'm sure I can convince the owner (or Matt - you reading this?) that I can add a bit more. To be fair, I've got a bike (Airbourne cross thing with discs) that would probably do the job fine but thats not the point is it.

So, if you were to spec a dream touring bike what would it look like?
