I've found the Lynskey Urbanskey, which is the predecessor to the Urbano and the same as the Cooper CX, makes a fine touring bike. The tube shaping on the frame stiffens it up enough to eliminate most flexing. My fully loaded steel Surly Troll is much more flexible. Here are a couple photos of my bike in medium and light touring setups. The only issue I'm now addressing is getting low enough gearing with the Ultegra drivetrain. Not too many options. I can run an 11-40 on the rear with a compact crankset and MTB derailleur, but for expedition touring or serious climbing, even that is not low enough for me.
