Dutch Bike

Slighty off topic but all the practicalities outlined above make me want to get a tourer. I had wanted a slick 80s/90s steel road bike but the awsome ones have no eyelets for racks and guards. Ideally I want a bike that does just about everything:

• Long fast roady rides, rip of the racks, change the tyres.
  
• Holiday to europe, touring tyres and racks on
  
• Pissing it down and need to get somewhere, take the tourer and its awesome mudguards.
  
  

I've been checking out stuff like road/cyclocross orientated frames with eyelets and clearances for bigger tyres:

• Kona Jake
  
• Dawes Galaxy
  
• Kinesis racelight/crosslight
  
  

You forgot the obvious Surly, Cross Check or Long Haul Trucker.
I've got a CrossCheck as my do all bike and its great, spends most of its time as my mud guard commuter but have got a set of 700x45cc that fit on for some drop bar off road fun when the weather is fine.
