Wheels
I see the 2017s advertised as having Vera Terra rims on the wheelset. Mine came with Vera Corsa, which seem to be a step up in terms of design and quality. I've been impressed. I loaded front and rear panniers (about 40-50 lbs total) and had no problems with the wheels on a weekend tour.

You are right, at 610mm the stack on the XXXL is relatively low, and comparable to the stack on size L/XL for other manufacturers. It is just about correct for me. Has anyone seen any photos of the touring in a 64cm?

In 80's I rode a Fuji sport-touring bike that was pretty good. Current Fuji tourer is a pretty good value but note that REI's 2016 Novara Randonées are now discounted from $1,200 to $783.

It appears the new Fuji Touring is out! It appears the main changes this year include upgraded tires and different brake levers (Tektro RL520s > TRP RRL).

I use the RRLs on both of my drop-bar/bar-end shifter-equipped bikes.
