That's a beautiful bike, I wouldn't rebuild it with newer stuff, why? It's a vintage bike built by hand and brazed with silver here in the USA and it should remain that way. just an opinion.

Bicycle Outfitters carries two touring bikes you should ride. One is the Jamis Aurora Elite, a traditional designed touring bike built of Reynolds 631 not the 501 lower end tubing. It uses the tried and proven Shimano 105 transmission, and has bar end shifters.
