My tourer is a steel Bob Jackson, not Airborne.
What style of touring do you want to do?
For fully loaded exp style most builder use steel.
The ti tourers are more suitable for hostel or ultralight camping.
You can get carbon touring forks. They are heavier duty than race forks and have rack and fender mounts but Im not sure they offer any advantage over a good Reynolds 531 fork.
