I am applying liberal amounts of fun to this bike.

Check the mirror.

Nice! I’m working on my ‘83 630 I just picked up too. How about a build list of what you’re using. I’m especially curious about the wheels, tires, and brake calipers.

velocity rims with a Dyno hub upfront. Currently it's a Panasonic. Eventually it will be an sp. Out back I have an old Shimano 126mm hub with a hand selected cassette 14-36. 8 speed but 9 speed spacing. Crank is an old deore with the single inboard bearing pedals.

Tires are smooth gravel kings 650x38
Front brake is tektro 559, rear just became an old center pull. Diacompe I think.

That's some impressive brake reach!

new score that is supplanting an earlier frameset.

it's a 750, so 75 mm. It actually stops quite well with the ancient pads too. Of course being the rear brake the job is less consequential than that of the front. The bike was designed with 27" wheels in mind so it does need serious reach for 650b.

Is this taking the spot your Schwinn Voyageur was occupying or do you still have that?

voyager was sold. This is taking the place of an 89 letour. The letour needed less brake reach and really is a nice true temper frameset but I couldn't pass up a real 531 frame in my size. It's actually quite light and a bit more springy that the letour.

I wish mine was in as good of shape as yours. Looks like the same size too.

if it makes you feel any better, I had to pay 200 for it instead of my usual 50 or so. The bike has been a load of fun so far.

Nice build - here’s my 83 600 as an IGH city bike..

outstanding. What did u do to the rear spacing to get that to work? I have an aluminum shelled aw I'd love to use on a 126 frame.

I did check the mirror; which one is it, and how is it attached? I've had a bear of a time finding mirrors suitable for swept bars; I have a Sunlight cruiser mirror that's pretty good, but the attachment sucks rocks.

it's a mirrycal. Usually used with drop bar levers but they work well with weinmann and diacompe style city levers.

Nothing but a couple of spacers. I have a 6 speed cluster laced to another identical rim and swap them around without issue. I will take a closeup of the setup when I am next with the bike.
