In Germany I'd certainly have a look at Fahrradmanufaktur, very good price/quality. The T400 XT would be an excellent touring bike, ready to ride around the world. Includes Tubus racks, B&M lighting, Magura brakes etc. for €1200. I almost bought one, but decided to build up my own Surly LHT from the frameset. It's really very easy to install all components on the bike, anyone could do it within a weekend and you have all liberty to choose any parts you like...
