Canti brake rando

I really like the idea of getting a canti (specifically) brake 'long day rides' bike for my goal of riding the next PBP (pending a few years of building up from my current 80ish miles max rides at the mo).

Before I look into getting a Mr Wooden, anyone got anything kicking around they don't ride anymore? Something a bit classy maybe, but not out and out road geo.

I'm not really fussed on wheel size, or double/triple. But would like 38s with fenders at least.

Large / 56 sort of size.

Very possibly this pending me checking the frame alignment. Budget?

Some Dawes Galaxy frames have great clearance and might suit, this one is possibly a bit big but still: https://www.facebook.com/share/Ddxb5tkqcsCuHcdh/?mibextid=79PoIi

I actually picked up a cheap '93 Dawes Super Galaxy this year and am very happy with it.

It's meant to be a copy of the Raleigh Randonneur and it certainly looks it. I was admittedly not convinced that it was my dream brand, but the bike simply never disappoints. I can throw anything at it and the frame carries the load with ease. I am so impressed by it now that I can't imagine ever giving it up. The riding quality is wonderful - I remember somebody writing that his Bob Jackson tourer felt like a limousine and now I know what he meant. Also, 32mm tyres with mudguards have proven ample for me. Maybe its just because I always used Continentals that are slimmer that they claim to be, but these Vittoria Saffiro Pros are wide enough for me.

The bike was intended to be my winter and country ride bike, but I use it for all my city commutes now. Slowly changing out parts.

Here is an amazing Dawes Galaxy project I found on flickr. Astonishing transformation.

That is an absolutely wonderful looking bike.
