Missing from the above list are the Cannodale touring bikes. Cannondale has been making one, and most times two, touring models in each model year since 1983. These aren't sport touring bikes but full on load 'em up and cross the country touring bikes. They would compare very favorably...and often are superior... to any bike in the above list. The only difference is that they are aluminum...but there's nothing wrong with that.
