What do you envision for your "couple day" tour? How many miles per day? Hills? Are you thinking of going self-supported or staying in motels? The short answer is that you can tour on just about anything, but you will enjoy the riding more with a suitable bike, and you will be more likely to have mechanical problems with cheap components. Mechanical breakdowns can take all the fun out of a tour, and spoil your day(s).
