forgot to ask earlier regarding your example's pedals; they look like they may be KKT Top Run
owned a Carrera Sport model from the '73-'74 time which came through with KKT RTSF
your bicycle's chainset, pedals and saddle pillar are upgrades over the Carrera Sport of the early '70's
it's pillar was plain steel

minor tip on rear mech -
Maeda mounting instructions for their rear mechs recommend to adjust the angle screw such that the slant pantograph is parallel to the chainstay for optimal shifting performance

The pedals are KKS. They say 2K Quill. Thanks for the tip on the angle screw. It helped speed my shifts. The bike fits me except the stem is a bit short. I've gotten used to various touring bikes with a more relaxed feel. Out of the saddle climbing doesn't feel quite right.
