John, One thing I didn't see is the size of your bike. The larger the frame, the heavier it is.
Your bike is well within the weight range expected for a loaded tourer equipped for an expedition level tour. For example, my older Cannondale frame set is heavier than 10 Wheels' Cannondale, but mine is set up for short tours (less equipment) and thus weighs less.
As a long time roadie and a short time tourer I was concerned about the weight of my touring bike at first. I was silly to be concerned and the touring bike had the most miles ridden last year. Enjoy your tour.
