Utility bicycle - currently an old rigid MTB, 1x7 drivetrain, 26 x 1.5 road tires, rack on the rear and removable basket on the front. I also have a 1977 Schwinn LeTour set up with a 2x1 drivetrain and 700x35 tires and rear rack that can be used as a utility bicycle.
Road/gravel - home built 2x9 with 700x 35 tires (it can easily fit something larger), currently has drop bars but seriously considering using a flat/hybrid handlebar. Rack on the back and also have a front rack (removed right now) for 'credit card' touring.
