I like my RBT, but I've changed components and accessories a lot in twenty years. I changed the original 52-42-30 set up to46-36-26 ; I have a Brooks B-17 in place of the original; I have Blackburn racks, but if I were starting over I'd look at the VO Campeur racks or some of the Nitto steel racks; I've kept my Bar-end shimano shifters but prefer friction like the Silver shifters that Rivendell sold or that VO sells; The RBT came with Araya rims without eyelets, I'd recommend eyeletted ones. Nitto bars and stems of course.

I don't camp any more, so allI need would fit in low riders and a saddle bag and maybe a front bag on a rack.
