I think one of the things we need to know is how much your Rawland weighs presently. Fully outfitted tourers of the '80s are going to be in the 25-28 lb range give or take. If your Stag is in that range then, well, that will be something to chew on.

Here is a guy who also has a Stag and built his down to 24.1 lb with accessories. You can tell us what's different and that may help us all figure out what weight savings could be had. A Shimano BBUN5x or UN7x are well-made, dead reliable BBs. IMO, it's not worth it to shave grams there. Your crankset can easily be switched out for (probably, I think) a lighter one--don't know the specific model of Sugino crank so who knows.

~1800g wheels, sub-300g folding tires (Compass ones, or Continental Gran Sport Race), light-weight fenders (perhaps not made of metal), a lighter but still super comfy saddle (Fizik Aliante carbon from a while ago, like on my Miyata 1000), and a Cannondale touring frame should do you real well I think. And you're in CT, Cannondalandia. It will more than hold its own among your fleet.

I would love to own one of these Miyatas. I recently bought a couple boxes of parts from a guy; when I was picking up the parts, i noticed a Miyata 1000 in the guys garage. But unfortunately, it was not for sale.

Cyclops - the best riding bike that I have ever owned, built up and ridden...



Peugeot PX10 - a very close second to the best...



Tommasini - a close third but I no longer own the bicycle...



I can't help but wonder where this late fifties German steed will fit into the mix. I have test ridden the Rabeneick 120d but not enough to comment on ride quality...



All that said, I never allow any of my bikes to couple for reproduction purposes!-)
