If the bike is in good shape and the parts are the same quality or better than the original parts, the bike is easily worth $350. It is a racing bike, not a touring bike. I own one and I built my share of those bikes when I worked in a shop.

It does have eyelets and it can take (barely) a 32c tire. So yes this can work as a "touring" bike especially if you are going lightweight. As I said in my original post, this is likely the best bike of the lot.
