I definitely would tour with a Homer. Anything that can stand up to riding on the kind of unpaved roads that Grant regularly rides on is going to handle a load just fine! I actually think that the Homer is better built and has a much better geometry than many other well known dedicated touring bikes like the Surly Long Haul Trucker. For instance, it has a lower BB, making it more stable. Its seat tube angles are usually more relaxed as well (depending on size). It has longer chainstays, giving you far better pannier hill clearance. Unless your total weight would exceed reason (which you can ask Rivendell about), I don't see why you shouldn't tour with a Homer.
