What Bike to Convert into a Cheap Tourer/Commuter?

Pulled the trigger on that Raleigh Strata, accepted my first offer of £40.
Thanks for all the help everyone.
 
It being the season and all that nostalgic bonhomie, have you got a rack? Probably got a spare in the shed. Karma.
 
Nope, haven't got a rack yet, was waiting to see what bike I ended up settling on first, to see what type I needed.
 
Got an old alloy rack. Needs tlc as the steel brackets are a bit rusty but all there. Just got back from a couple of hours in the shed. Lovely.
 
Here's the photos of the rear end. Doesn't have the usual eyelets for mounting on the seat stays, but it has the bridge for the rear reflector if that's something you can mount to.
