An unusual bike to encounter in my part of the world, it apparently arrived here with a Canadian who toured Scotland and couldn't ship it home. Almost entirely original parts when I got hold of it (final picture), but since then I've switched the 3x chainring out for a 1x Stridsland ring so I could keep the original cranks, paired a Velo Orange happy stem with a flipped Nitto Heron bar and changed to a friction shifter.
Managed to get my hands on some period appropriate shimano altus v-brakes and a deore XT rear mech, which I'll get around to fitting soon.
It's done me well for light touring, bike camping and getting the weekly shop home!
