I did 1500 miles to scotland and back, carrying full camping gear and paintbox, approx. 40kg, on an aluminium genesis Vapour with a long haul trucker fork. It worked, but I would rather have had a steel bike, with the spec I described above.
I got the vapour very cheap a few years ago when I had a bike stolen and needed to get back on the road, and slowly rebuilt it as a tourer.
