Thanks guys. It's great to join the Klein Klub. The rivnut got recrimped, the clamps put in the parts bin, the saddle got replaced with a Brooks team pro and the DT got swapped to Suntour barends. I'm still deciding about the suspension seat post and I'm in no rush to change the tape. It does look a little like something I dug outta my first aid kit😂 but I can live with it for awhile. Oh, the FD was pretty rusted so it sports a unknown brand new one.(sunrace?) I know it's not a typical touring bike but I think it would be just fine with a smaller granny when or if I take off for an extended tour.
