To be fair, the Sekine part wasn't to visable in the overall picture, so here it is. And you are so right about the Dia Compe brakes. I may end up replacing them with a set of early Shimano.
My touring plans begin with my son and I on a 5 day tour of the Qu'Appelle Valley and campgrounds to the east. About 300-500 km round trip depending on which way we go.
If that trip goes well we will ride to Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba. But the boy is only 15 so I am not going to push him.
I am just happy he wants to go bike touring with the old man.
