I have set it up with a mix of 1980’s European and Japanese parts including wide-range 12-speed gearing, 27x1¼ wheels, rack, and fenders. It’s a great all-rounder that achieves a nice balance of lightness, comfort, and utility.

Very nice.

I would break my "no new road bike" pledge if I stumbled upon a practical, classy build like your Davidson.
