I may be wrong, I can't find any specific info at the moment.

The extra cable clamps I added because the outer brake cable I used is very stiff and made me nervous about my top tube cable guides. If i change that out, I would probably remove the extra clamps. I am fine with it as is, this is not a museum piece, no original fork, Shimano TriColor.
The bar tape is by BTP down under, I tried a couple of different combos before I got this one that matched.
