Thanks...As you can see there's a reason I moved quickly on the shifters. I really want to get this build done to see how the frame handles. It's been sitting a while.

Looking good Justin... Do you have a full bike shot?
My Jeunet 630 is very near complete. The Atax seatpost should arrive any day, then I'll set up the Mafacs and take it for a spin. The Grand Cru brakes are on their way for my powdercoated Voyageur. Then it's on to setting up the brakes and shifters and wrapping the bars. I also have two mixtes (one is a 1x5, the other with a flip/flop hub) for which I need to build wheels.

Looks nice...but...You need to lose the black stem!
Pics are a little fuzzy - but my winter project is a 1976 Pogliaghi that I purchased here on C&V along with the super record derailleurs. Frame is psm stamped on seat tube.
The Yellow crankset match better than originally anticipated - I am told that they are early 70's from an old viner. Vintage Regal in place. A little ways to go...
I am probably going to go with yellow housing - all black handlebars/tape. Can't wait to get this on the road.

The rack on the Jeunet is probably French, but I'm not sure of the manufacturer. I bought it via eBay from Old Spokes Home. It has a bigger base than the more common TA racks. I can't tell you anything about how it functions yet, but I do like how it looks. It seems plenty secure. But, admittedly, it is as much bike jewelry as anything.
Have you considered adding braze ons for cantilevers for use with 650B rims? A nickel plated, Nervex-lugged International with Hetres would certainly be something cool.
Anton,
I'm jealous of your seat stay bridge fender mount. Shogun had the sense to do that on their touring bikes.

I paid about $100 to have the original canti studs removed and new ones brazed on to work with 650B wheels. So, for any touring frame that has room for fat tires and needs a repaint anyway, for an extra $100 or so, you can turn it into a 650B canti-brake tourer.

Is there a big difference between having a tourer that runs 700c v 650b? 650b seems to be all the rage, what am I missing? I was planning on running either 35s or 37s on the Trek.... thoughts?

i just realized that after my winter projects are done I'll have an English rando-ish bike, and French rando-ish bike, and a Japanese Rando-ish bike. I'll also have two Italian go fast bikes. Lots of overlap, and I don't give a crap 
I'll ride them all.

Justin, the 1983 Shogun I have has a traditional brake bridge drilled for a brake bolt. The 1984 Shogun has the "proper" bridge with the 5mm threaded fender mount. I paid the frame builder who modified the 1983 for 650B an extra $25 to replace the old bridge with a new one with the mount (and placed 10mm lower to fit a 650B fender without a huge spacer).
I paid about $100 to have the original canti studs removed and new ones brazed on to work with 650B wheels. So, for any touring frame that has room for fat tires and needs a repaint anyway, for an extra $100 or so, you can turn it into a 650B canti-brake tourer.
