Have you considered titanium? It would be ideal, given your criteria. Team it with a lightweight titanium rack from Tubus, a smallish pannier, and a strong set of wheels and you're set for both light touring and commuting. For racing, remove the rack, fit some fast wheels, and you're equally well equipped.
