  • For that price you are looking for either vintage or hybrid. I would recommend looking for a hybrid. Sturdy frames, all the attachment points for racks, sensible tyre widths, and build for flat bars.

    Technically any bike can be for touring if it is comfortable enough. I would suggest going and test riding some new hybrid bikes from different brands, find the one that fits and is most comfortable, and then look for those makes / models second hand.

    For budget gear options - look for second hand stuff on ebay, strange chinese stuff on aliexpress or look at the Decathlon ranges. Aliexpress can be a gamble, second hand requires patience and Decathlon you can see it up close and personal. One of those options should work for you.

    Good luck.
