I think a "Touring" bike has VERY long chain stays, Lot of rake typically but not always Canti's.
"Sport Touring" or Light Touring is a little less Chainstay Not as much Rake but still a good amount. Full Braze-ons are optional. Brakes are either or. Can handle tires up to around 32mm.
This may be pushing it in some peoples eyes but my Lotus Prestige Plenty of gear on the Freewheel and long stays and could clear 32's.

My Trek 420

Schwinn Super LeTour 12.2

My Raleigh thats not a Raleigh but dont know what it is bike. No rack mounts its held on by P clips. Does have a headlight bracket. Campy drops, lot of Campy Record parts and Shimano Arabesque derailleurs. Set up for center pulls.
I need to get a current picture. Its lost the racks, gained a Campagne bag on a decaileur, VO Fender and lost the battery lighting.
