i am new to touring, but have done plenty of research and asked the same question recently as I prepared for a tour I am leaving on soon.

the specialized tricross (but not the sworks version, no eyelets) for sure has the eyelets for the racks and fenders and I bet a lot of the cross bikes do. I think it would be a compromise touring bije, and maybe a pretty god one, with possibly harsher ride than a steel bike. I bet a Surley Crosscheck (steel) would work even better. Maybe not the best of the best of touring bikes, but probably pretty decent, and a good cross bike too.
maybe someone else could chime in?
