Got this the other day. Several items are obviously not original--saddle, stem, crankset and pedals. It was spec'd with the Blackburn-style racks.

I'm developing a taste for dedicated touring bikes since I picked up the Bob Jackson Super Tourist--versitile, good for commuting, whiich accounts for most of my miles nowadays..

I will add fenders, for sure, and may look for other chainrings (it's now 52/40)--50/34?

Anyone know anything about this Tange "2001" tubing?

Comments and suggestions are welcome.
