Finally got this bike built up after experimenting with different stems and handlebars over the course of a couple years. I originally spotted this on marketplace; the bike was so covered in stickers that I could just barely make out the “75” but I knew what I was looking at. $35 later it was mine.
Very excited with how this came together. Dia compe xce brakes still a bit finicky to set up but otherwise riding great.

Suntour XCE cranks and front derailleur
Ultegra rear derailleur
Dimension 80mm stem
Blue Lug All Road bars
700x43 Gravel King SS
Bontrager wheelset from marketplace
Tektro Aero levers
Recycled bar tape

Got out for a little shakedown ride after getting everything put together and of course got a flat 7 miles in.
I tried so many different stem and handlebar combinations before settling on this setup, which I’m loving.
Pretty stock drivetrain (suntour xce) aside from the Ultegra rear derailleur.
Vintage suntour friction barcons
Blue Lug Allroad handlebars
Tektro aero levers
Gravel king 700x43 SS
Brooks saddle
Stock dia compe xce cantilevers which have been a pain bc I don’t have the cone wrench needed to adjust spring tension
