I'm too old to ride long distances comfortably with saddle to handlebar drop so put Technomic stems on both of my sport tourers.

Cool bike- but you know those mirrors just screw off- there's a nut on the inside- it'll be a whole lot easier to put new hoods on if you remove the stumps of the mirrors- you probably could have sold those.

I have one bike that has aero levers, I have a mirror that clamps on to the bars- It's nowhere near as stable as the Mirrycle.
I hate riding without a mirror.

Looking back I see the pic of my vintage touring bike, a 1975 Peugeot PX 60, has disappeared from when I posted it a couple of years. Also, it has evolved since then so I have a good excuse to post it again 
[IMG]
Peugeot PX60 - as of December 28th 2013 - set up for touring by Dawes-man, on Flickr[/IMG]
I've carried out one modification since I took this photo last December - the 36T Campagnolo chain wheel has been swapped with a customised 32T Sugino wheel (I had it drilled to fit the 100 BCD of the Campagnolo crank - it was originally 74 BCD).

It works fine but during a trip in Hokkaido in August, 20 kms up to a mountain pass fully laden with camping equipment, I realised the 28T at the back wasn't enough. Next mod - a 34T at the back.

That's great work on the smaller chainring.
Go all the way with one of those old Suntour AG 38s!!!

No sure about the AG 38... I'm hoping 34 will be enough. A Japanese friend mentioned that for touring you needed 1 to 1, so 32 should be enough (as the front is 32). We'll see. I removed the white lettering from the large cog on a Shimano MEGA RANGE the other day

Yeah, it works a treat. No negative reactions. Everyone gives you a wide berth.

I think I'm about finished fiddling around with my Fuji Saratoga, probably will stay like this for a while.
