Very nice Triplecrank. You are way ahead of me with my 1983 700. I did just got a 7 speed 14-28 Sunrace Freewheel for mine and a Suntour VX-s rear derailleur to use. I am taking the rear wheel to LBS today to redish for the 7 speed. I also have some 32 Panaracer Gravel Kings for it. I am trying to get it rideable for now, but cosmetics will wait to winter. Mine will be leaning to sport touring, as I am older. I am also looking into half step gearing for the flatlands that I ride on. My couple of short rides before wrenching have been pleasant.
