The smaller Surly LHT take 26 inch wheels. They are bomb-proof, very cushy, and make great touring bikes...or for transportation after the Zombie Apocalypse. The smaller sizes could be considered on the over-built size, but I loved my LHT (I just happened to love my custom bike more so sold the LHT). I don't know that there IS a touring bike with a sloping TT, but just because I've not seen one doesn't mean they don't exist
