About to finish my EG Bates, finally rebuilt as a tourer: new wide bars, a Tara lowrider rack (ugly modern but amazing), front Shim dyno hub/old school steel phil freewheel rear on Sputniks (can just fit 35s in to the frame, which are lush to ride), new lights, triple TA cyclotouriste 52/42/27, new campag long cage mech, 7 sp fw with massive range ... sticking with dt shifters for now, might end up using some barends I've got... So excited to have finally pulled my finger out and done this, ready for some wild stuff!
