it is not really a touring bike, it was designed as a value top tier bike for those who were interested in cycling, wanted as much Campagnolo as possible, and bling.
It was most often purchased by those interested in cycling, but who did not do much afterward after purchase. Why so many are around in good shape.
Tubulars were a mistake for the market, did provide "real road bike" cred, but at the time, the range of clinchers was skimpy. 700c clinchers even less, and the bike while it will take 27" wheels, was not designed for them.
A Stealth Gravel bike.
