As others have observed, most randonneuring bikes are regular bikes with bags and lights. Here are two of mine:
This one has done London-Edinburgh-London, Super Brevet Scandinavia, the Great Southern (Australia) and a host of shorter rides. Here it is outfitted for LEL:  This one has done Paris-Brest-Paris (the shot is the iconic bridge at Brest), the Herentals 1200K (Belgium), the Natchez Trace 1500K, the Colorado High Country, the Cascade 1200K plus a bunch of others I'm probably forgetting:

mentally, kilometers are something i understand as a measure of distance. meters however do not have an impact on my brains, especially considering climbing. a 300m climb just makes me shrug, but a 1000' climb makes my legs hurt to think about

My AR Cycles rando in hauler mode, 26" Rat Trap Pass tires vs the usual (and road preferred) 650b x 42s. Unfortunately I have no pics of the latter.

Cool to see all the bikes! All of them. I chuckled at the PBP bike room pic...spying a Dogma in the lower left of one of the shots.
I find this all so interesting. It also makes me feel like a candyass. As much as I love bikes...which is a metric **** ton!....I don't really want to ride more than 70-80 miles on any one given day. And I certainly don't think I could do one of these brevet events. My heart wants to do something like PBP....I just know it's not the kind of thing for me though. Bravo to all you hard people with iron butts. I won't even get started on the PBP peeps that do it fixed/single speed. Mind is blown.

The first one is mine, and hasn't done too many brevets, but did get me through 600 km in Korea, through a typhoon, in which the handlebar bag flooded, and every scrap of paper that wasn't the cardstock controle card disintegrated.
The second is a Ukrainian PBP participant, spotted by Plattyjo in 2015. I don't know if he finished, but he did make the turnaround in Brest in good time.

Purchased back in 2010, but never traveled with it until 2014 when I did my first fixed 1200k in North Carolina. Since then it's been to Texas, Florida (twice) and Washington (as well as all over the state of California).
The last time I was in Florida, the event was being run as a cloverleaf. The benefit of this was I didn't have to send a drop bag forward to the next overnight. I could just let my suitcase explode! They also had the option of riding it as a 1000k/200k which was perfect for me as I needed a geared 1000k for a specific RUSA award, and I needed another 200k fixed for another non-official award. So when I wrapped up the 1000k, I swapped out the cranks, yanked the derailleurs, switched the bars/levers (was running STI geared instead of the DTs in the photos), changed rear wheels and rode the final leg fixed. Sadly, it's been in the S&S case since I crashed out of the Minnesota Coulee Challenge 1200k back in 2018. https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=105175
