A quick update from the Elite in post:

The stock Dia Compe brakes weren't cutting it so I replaced them with Campagnolo brakes. Great improvement!
I also switched out the Suntour power shifters to BarCons when they busted.
Think I could squeeze a 32mm tire here? I'm thinking Paselas. The ones currently on are Vitorria Zaffiro 25mm.
