Provided it is a quality FW it should be fine for touring but whether the gear ratio agree with you is another matter. If you live in or plan to ride in hilly terrain you may want something wider.
The type of tool needed to remove it will be the biggest clue. The brand and sometimes the model is often written on the body.
Thanks for your thoughts on the the FW. Yes, the gear ratio is what I was concerned about; however, the smallest ring on the crank seems likely to give me some effective options for hill climbing. I'll have to test it out and see.
I'll see what I can do with providing additional pics.
