Hello wonderful group,
My 1989 Schwinn Tempo is poorly suited for commuting, as it has NO
braze-ons for fenders or panniers. But this is my primary use.
I want a touring frame but cannot afford a completely new bike. How
many of the following components can I bring over to a new frame? Have
standards changed so I cannot bring some over?
--Stem is quill, Cinelli 1A.
--Handlebars are Cinelli 26.4 mm.
--Threaded headset, Shimano 105.
--Downtube friction/index shifters, Shimano 105.
--Brakes are centerpull calipers, SHORT reach, Shimano 105 (so short I
can't get fenders under them - and I need fenders). The brake levers
are basic.
--32-spoke aluminun wheels are Wolber (?) 700C, Shimano 105 hubs(good
to keep, no?).
--Bottom bracket & cranks, double chainring, front & rear derailleur -
Shimano 105.
--The thing has a 7-speed Shimano casette.
--Seatpost - I have no idea what diameter it is.
Do you agree I should buy canti brakes so I can have fenders?
Am I missing anything that a new bike will need?
Your answers are appreciated. Thanks!
