I have been looking at the Sutra a lot as of late as a potential replacement to my Fuji Touring. Among the things that I really like of the Sutra is the generous tyre clearance (if memory serves up to 700c*47 at least) which opens up some great options for tours in rougher areas of the world where a 35 simply wouldn't cut it. And in this sense I think only the Salsa Marrakesh has similar clearance.

The middle chainring on the Sutra is 36, not 38. It comes stock as 48/36/26.
I've had the 26 chainring switched to a 22 for awhile, now. I'm very happy with 48/36/22 - enough that I want it on all of my bicycles. I do not want the 48 switched to something lower. I enjoy using the 48.
