Looking for a medium sized touring bike or gravel bike

Hello all,
I’m about to go on a Europe tour for a month, so I’m looking for a nice upright, comfortable, not too heavy touring bike or even a gravel or mountain bike that fits panniers and the works. I’ve been looking on eBay and gumtree and there’s a lot of CAADX on there which due to the recent recall I just don’t trust. I’m quite new to all this so if I’m being non descriptive please let me know. I just need something that won’t fall apart after a few weeks of touring.

I’m 5”8 so a medium frame would be ideal
Something aluminium
Not too heavy
Panniers and guard if possible

At 5ft 8 I’d be looking at a small.

Might not fit your bill, but certainly the right size - my medium Dolan is actually still built up (sram apex groupset) although currently for sale as a frame - happy to talk about a deal for the full bike if it’s of interest - it’s got guards and rack mounts, it’s aluminium with carbon forks - nice and light

If you use Facebook search for Specialized Diverge on Facebook Market place, there's loads of them at various price points and locations

Sorry in advance because it's not aluminum but this is good to go.
Last owner was 5ft8
650b wheels.
Very stable - will tour well.

This lot then just add frame. Crazy cheap

You still got this?
