I built up the aluminum Nashbar touring frame and it may be my thread you're thinking of. Here's the thread I made for the build:

I am still riding that build and love it.
**edit** (I think I have completely misread this whole thing. For some reason I thought the OP was looking at the complete steel touring bike. My apologies.)
The aluminum frame is excellent.
