Hi Alan,
You should have good luck with your search, but before you get started, tell us more about yourself.
Will you be "fully loaded" touring with 30+ lbs of camping gear, or are you considering ultra-light touring with a lighter load. If you can tour light, a wider range of road bikes will work for you. Also, how heavy are you? This will determine if you need super-strong wheels, or if more common 36 or 32 spoke road wheels will be good enough.
