Not finding much remarkable about this B'stone "Long Distance Tourer" except 40 spoke rear wheel (Araya/Sunshine). First time I've seen this in this class bike. Did other mass-produced japanese or euro-made tourers from 70's-80's or premo randonneurs also do this? More typical of tandems I thought.
