I don't know if I'd trust them for touring. If you are going to be taking the bars of your bike for travel, an aluminum steerer is a lot more forgiving than a carbon one.

Too funny. I'm looking at the Ritchey fork, which is technically listed as a Cyclocross fork: http://www.amazon.com/Ritchey-Cyclocross-WCS-Carbon-fork/dp/B001CNAR9I However, it is not a straight fork. It seems to have a good enough rake for touring, maybe? Haha….nevermind, I didn’t realize someone had asked this same question?! Too funny.

I see Ceeway in the UK has the CX (no lowrider bosses) version: http://www.framebuilding.com/carbon%20forks.htm I'd ask them if they can get you the touring version. It is an evolution fork.
