OK, sure! I would be glad of input.
I'd like to have a traditional light tourer, with a steel frameset.
The basics:
- flat top tube
- quill stem
- shifters on the downtube
- old-style brake hoods
- braze-ons for mudguards, rack, bottles
wheels:
- perhaps say https://www.ison-distribution.com/english/product.php?part=WHHAR6SF, or perhaps the version with hub dynamo on the front
- 25c tyres
transmission:
- compact chainset, say 50T/34T chainring (e.g. https://www.geneticbikes.com/shop/products/chainsets/cranks/clubman-crankset/) and an 11-28 eight/nine-speed cassette. I feel the crankset needs to look right.
- shifters - not bothered about indexing, but is it better to have clamp-on or bolt-on shifters?
the rest:
- handlebars perhaps https://www.geneticbikes.com/shop/products/handlebars/road/heritage-bars/
- calliper brakes, but not sure exactly what, or about the levers
- flat top tube

braze-ons ...
25c tyresSeems kind of mad to me that you'd want a bike built today that is this limited. Why 25c tyres for instance? The rest of the stuff I can almost understand. You could probably get a very good second hand bike to meet all these criteria. Granted, it might not be a Goff...

I bought this off the forum a couple of years ago . Can't remember who from (sorry!) Very reasonably priced and is an absolute joy to ride. Quick and comfortable it turns heads whenever I ride it ! I don't know anything about it's history yet, it's 23c but don't find that a problem!

And turn this into the build thread for it? Very good.
