Yeah, that bike looks excellent! Does it fit you well?

Only three things I can see to upgrade:

1. Your decision to get a butterfly bars is a good one.
2. Saddle: Try a Brooks B17. It's the #1 choice for touring saddle (super comfy!) It won't fit everyone, but you should try it though. They keep the resale value if you don't like it.
3. If you'll be doing light touring in country the rack is just OK. Otherwise a steel rack like a Tubus might be a better choice down the road.
