Good point! I will be using drop bars.
I just checked the geometry on my custom Ti road bike, which fits me perfect, and the ETT is 555cm (I have a longer torso and shorter inseam). So it looks like the geometry of the M would be good for me, as I would be more upright on a touring bike.
Good suggestion on the dynohub also.
Thanks!
