Was gonna recommend the Inbred earlier but decided not to. It has long chainstays in back and beefy frame, and I've seen a number of them used for loaded touring, but it also has an extremely long top tube, with the intention that it be used with a very short stem to give twitchy, aggressive handling. The OP indicated he wants something with more relaxed handling; achieving that with an inbred could be tricky.
