Megalowmatt,
Hope I'm not hijacking this thread, but here's a link that includes a list of my Nashbar touring build components.

I've since put a triple Sugino mountainbike crankset on it, with 42-32-22 chainrings, to give me better climbing gearing. They shift just fine with the Ultegra road brifters. I also swapped the tires out for some Panaracer Pasela Tourguard 700 x 28mm. They seem to roll better, and are a "cushier" ride, plus I really like the tan sidewalls.
Hope this helps
