Here is my bike from one of those rides. The first one has Ultegra hubs and the last 2 pics are Deore LX, same bike, different wheelsets and new paint job.
I suggest these because while fairly bombproof, they are easily worked on and repaired as parts are relatively easy to find.
Wow! those bikes are a mess! My old Fuji looked like that... once.. after I tried to take a shortcut through a road that was under construction. Spent half of th e next day cleaning the bike and repacking all of the non-sealed bearings and freewheel.
