I would bet the frame is 130 spaced, despite coming with a 7 speed setup originally.

I have had STI levers work after flushing with very hot water, after solvent flushing didn't work.

By "lower" do you mean going to a smaller cog or a larger one? "Lower" should always refer to the gear ratio, so a "lower" gear is a larger cog in rear or a smaller ring in front.
