I've a Bridgestone T-700, a 5 speed cluster with a half stepper chain ring.
I particularly like the half step set-up, but need to change out the back of the bus and put in a cassette.
That limits me to apparently 32 or 36 spoke wheels, something to which I'm not accustomed, having a 48 spoke rear now.
Plus, I've got to spread the rear dropouts to accept the 135 mm spacing.
Is the moniker notes, I'm just getting started.

You may be a newbie according to the moniker, but you certainly seem to know what you're doing and how to do it!

No really.
Apparently I've got to completely rebuild the bike.
I need Radneuer (sp?) bars, new Grab-On bar grips, a rear wheel with a cassette.
Is everyone doing 36 spokes for touring now?
Tnx,

I don't know about the 36 spokes for touring...randonneur bars sound like an upgrade though, they would be a definite plus...

Welcome to BF.
Why not head over to the Touring forum and Long Distance forum and ask.
