read this thread http://www.lfgss.com/thread17964.html there are loads of options for touring. but for such a short tour you shouldn't need a new bike. If you're thinking of racing then get an alu something..
don't use a backpack, just get your bike, and strap a compression bag to the seat (you can do this with any bike).
alternatively you can get a heavy audax bike + carrdice + reto jersey + some old campy groupsets and join the ctc.
