Hello,
I'm glad you appreciate it !

The Dia Compe Wing shifters are very good and I love the micro-ratcheting. That's the ideal configuration for travelling, it always works ! Back then, I used it in combination with a Sachs New Success derailleur and Shimano 8s 11-32 cassette.
When travelling with paniers and tent, you easily add 25-30kg. So I had to change my cranks. Initially, my TA crank had 28-40-48 chainrings and I changed the middle and granny ones, so I now have 26-36-48 rings . . .

Today, this bike has evolved. I put a SON dynamo and lights, a Campagnolo derailleur with Campy Record 8s thumb shifters, Campy mtb cantis with koolstop pads, Campy brake levers. And with a new confort bar, it's a different bike now !
