A kickstand
What, and run away from what might turn out to be a good touring bike?
Of course not; I *added* a kickstand to my new tourer.
Nutted wheel axles (i.e. no quick releases on wheels)
Oh, what *did* we do before they were invented...
Carried a wrench around with us GGG.
Still, I agree with most of your list (though stuff like levers and
pedals can always be ripped off), but I was intrigued by this:
Steel chainrings
I was under the impression that aluminum chainrings, though lighter,
were also less durable. I can see how one might favor one or the other,
but is there a reason why you would reject those outright?
I wouldn't.
