I fully support choosing the drivetrain that makes you enjoy the bike the most!
I was not trying to criticize your build choices, I am sorry if it came across that way.
MisterMikkel-
@jBola a fantastic ride. Can recommend the stone chainrings - I might get a 38t for hillier touring as well. I'm glad you like him :)
@MisterMikkel not at all! I'm just trying to explain the thought process behind it, converting old frames to modern components is a minefield and I enjoy nerding out about it... Thanks for your comments!

@MisterMikkel, unfortunately it came down to a choice between a silver drivetrain, or one that I actually wanted to use! I have to say, after friction downtube shifters prior, I'm very much enjoying a life with indexing. The bike is also significantly lighter than it was with 3x9.
Thank you @Maj - that's exactly what I was going for!
