Damn, this listing makes me wish I rode a 54cm....
1994
Bridgestone XO-1
Pretty much the best touring bike ever made. Bridgestone shut down their bike division back in 95(?) and the bike guys started their own company, Nitto. They're all a bunch of insanely skilled Japanese craftsmen who make everything by hand. Needless to say this bike may get to the point of being out of your price range, but hey, it's still purdy to look at.
