This has been a fun thread, not your typical build recounting. I personally enjoy hearing people’s personal accounts about why they pick this or that - the customization of their special steed. Well done.
How about a 1985 Trek 620? (Yes, it has cantilever brakes.) I have a 24" version that would let you duplicate this bike in a smaller size.
Maybe it is the 27" tires but the bike feels too big for me. The 24" 1985 620 feels bigger than the 24" 1985 500 possibly because of the longer chain stays.
I found a 22-1/2" 1984 720 on ebay so the 620 needs to find a new home.
