Really enjoy mine. I've had it for three years and it now has over 11,000 miles. I haven't toured with it yet, but ride it daily as my commuter bike. I do want to do a self-supported tour on it. Hopefully in 2015...

Mine has been pimped some.

1. Both wheels replaced. The stock rear wheel ended up with three broken spokes. Yea, I'm carrying more fat than I should, but I wasn't heavier than about 175 lbs. Wheels are now Mavic A719 rims, 36 DT spokes, and Deore hubs, front and rear. No more spoke failures. Tires are 32mm Schwalbe Marathons. They have been trouble-free on my commute. The stock tires were magnets for sharp, pointy things. Not so with the Schwalbe's.

2. Cantilever brakes were AWFUL. Now replaced by "V" brakes. MUCH, MUCH better. Oh yea. much better.

3. Stock Fuji saddle replaced with a Brooks B17 Imperial. Oh, the best saddle I've ever sat on. Mine didn't need any break-in as I've heard others say about their Brooks. It just fit from the beginning.

4. Replaced the somewhat ugly and not very touring-friendly Shimano Sora triple crank with a Sugino triple crank. Gearing on the Sugino is lower with 48/36/24 vs something like 50/42/30 on the stock Sora. No change, yet, to the cassette. (New chain, too, when the crank was replaced.)

5. Added SKS fenders.

6. Hybrid pedals. SPD clippy things on one side, platforms on the other.

Really do find the bike comfortable to ride, especially with the Brooks saddle.
Also do like the bar-end shifters. They work GREAT! Didn't think I would like them since my other bike has STI levers, but they just do their job without any fuss.

Maybe the next item to be pimped is the seat post. Maybe.

I am very satisfied with the bike.
