Touring New Zealand option 2:
Old On-One Inbred 29er frames are only £140 at the moment (plus fork... how much is a rigid steel fork these days?). It's got rack mounts and longish chainstays, and clearance for 29x2.2 with mudguards (or so).
I'd have to work out the geometry properly to see how well it would fit... time for more cad...
It would work well as a pure MTB or as an off-road tourer, perhaps a more versatile option than a 700c touring bike. On the downside, it's fugly.
