and with 132 spacing in the rear you can go with more modern drive train. I upgraded to a 3x9.

I built up a 1991 750 (17 inch frame) for my GF as a tourer-gravel bike. It's currently setup for touring with 38mm Little big Ben tires and SKS commuter (53mm) fenders. Without the fenders I think the 750s will take up to a 42mm tire. Lots of mounts for racks..fenders..mid-fork rack mounts... The Hybrid forum has a looong thread on Multitracks. Lots of god info there. (Nice looking bike!)
