Since it's for touring I'd say you can go for an cheapish older frame (but you certainly don't have to). Unless you work for a museum don't bother with "period correct". Modern parts will work better and the spec sheet will work out cheaper. LFGSS fashionistas will disagree. Style over function is big around these parts.
