The cassette is an Ultegra 12x27. The rear derailleur, to anticipate a
question, is the long cage Dura Ace 7700GS. The original tyres were Mitsuboshi

My 1994 B'Stone catalog and some of the readers are still in my bathroom,

650A on my touring bicycle. I haven't had a puncture on the touring
bike, err, ever, and I've put 1000s of Km on it, including long
