Bought this 100% stock, a cheap eBay find and in fantastic condition. After riding it a few months, I came to realize the stock saddle wasn’t a good fit for me, and one of the saddle’s plastic bag loops for my hefty saddle bag snapped, so I replaced it with a Brooks B17 and matching handlebar tape. While I was changing the tape I also added some modern Tektro hooded levers as I find the old-style ones to be a pain on the hoods.
Recently added some Tektro r386 brakes which vastly improved the stopping power. Next additions will hopefully be a whole new drivetrain and some fenders
