It does have eyelets and it can take (barely) a 32c tire. So yes this can work as a "touring" bike especially if you are going lightweight. As I said in my original post, this is likely the best bike of the lot.
I have the '93 and 28mm Continental GP-5000 tires rubbed the front caliper. I went with 26mm Specialized S-WORKS Turbo (Gripton) and look now to have 2.5mm clear under the front caliper. I know Continental tires can run large, but unless the '94 is different, would be surprised to see it fit 32mm tires. My RB-1 has eyelets on the dropouts but none on the fork or seat stays.
