Help Build Up Miyata 610

New-to-me 1983 Miyata 610. Would appreciate advice on bringing it up to current touring standards. Pics are as I found it on Cragslist ($125), except cheap new Forte tires. Plan to do medium load and length touring at first, then see where that takes me. Rides OK now, on bascially all-original components. I know I want to add new saddle, bar-end shifters, new bars (existing are silly-narrow), and new rear derailleur. Racks and fenders of course. Exisiting 27" Araya wheels probably need to go as well. OK, basically everything but the frame! Recommendations for touring-focused choices appreciated! THX, JP
