I would say no. Even Rivendell would say no, unless your tours are supported and you don't need anything on the bike except a small saddle bag and a maybe a small handlebar bag or a top rack.

The Bleriot and Saluki are more general road riding bikes that just happen to have clearance for bigger tires than a normal road bike. For heavy duty haul it all yourself touring I would get something else.

From their website:
Ways to Use It
Road/trail riding
Centuries and brevets
Light touring
Commuting
Just about anything

(Emphasis mine.)
