I wouldn't worry too much about the 32 spoke wheels. With gear I have topped well over 300 on my 32 spoke wheel road bike and haven't had any problems. Even ran the bike into an expansion joint on a concret road and sunk it up till the hub and I haven't had any problems with it in the 1,100 miles since. I even curb hopped a couple weeks ago and the roads are crap so they get pretty beat up.

If you want a reason to avoid the fuji. Mine came with bad wheels that they will only replace with road wheels, poor hubs, poor RD, weak rear rack. It is just a track frame with a rack and brakes. The Sojourn is definately the bike I would have gotten if I knew about it last year but I ordered a Fuji because I didn't know any better and probably have ended up with more $$$ into then I would have into the Sojourn.
