It depends on whether you want to carry all of your own gear (and how much, i.e. camping and cooking gear, or just a few clothes because you'll sleep in motels and eat in restaurants); also on whether you intend to be on paved roads or not. One example is the recently-discontinued Trek 520. They made it (with some changes over the years) for 40 years. Check it out, at least as a starting point for your thinking.

In early morning [dark] hours, I have accidently nearly run into large plastic trash cans. I am afraid I would hit the glass vases or similar while riding in a lane that was protected in that manner. Hitting the flowers accidentally might not be a big deal, but hitting a vase might be.
