In my estimation, my 2015 Sam Hillborne is pretty nearly the perfect touring bike for overnighters or multi-day rail trail trips. I have a Hilsen which is a bit more lively and a really nice mixed-surface riding bike. (Yes, I am spoiled.) I realize this topic has likely come up before: Every once in a while, I wonder if the Hilsen would work for touring, but I tried a sport tourer for loaded trips once. It was too whippy, especially in the mountains. It's a rhetorical question for now, but at 76, I will eventually have to thin the herd. I'm happy with a dedicated bike for each purpose.
