Personally, I'd get a custom built tourer, with a mountain bike triple crankset, 9 speed cassette (11-32t) built on a SRAM E12*. Of course the wheels tyres would be from a Pugsley to cope with cornering, at the speeds it'd do downhill 
In fact... I'd just have a Pugsley with panniers, with the rear wheel on a custom hub
*I realise the Elan E12 isn't designed for combining with a cassette, but imagine the speed if it were to be modified

Bloke who built my bike recently put together a Merlin Cielo:
That's not his btw - but it looks like that.
I think it's best to just show that part as any more I feel will be breaking laws on decency!
Also his has Zipp wheels and full Dura Ace.
I'll have one of those please
My old Specialized (1992 version) had carbon tubes in Al alloy lugs and from a distance looked (a little) like a Cielo - I think that's where the obsession started. I have emailed Merlin asking for details but until someone decides to pay scientists like bankers, it's out of my budget.
