Even though I've done fully loaded touring with my Quickbeam (in three-speed mode), I normally have it set-up fixed with a mid-60s gear. Most often it has a Carradice saddlebag, and a front bar-tube bag. My outings include carrying food, spare clothes, coffee brewing gear, camera, etc. That is my normal day trip loading. I like the Quickbeam set-up that way. I agree with Patrick. The Barlow Pass ELs are mighty sweet on that bike, and mine has seen a fair amount of gravel road applications with delightful results. In summary, if you enjoy the Quickbeam, I think you'll be successful in finding (perhaps through some experimentation) a fantastic light touring configuration. I've contemplated many times taking mine out on a fixed mini-tour. That would be fantastic.
