A 46 & 42 chainring set with a 13-32 six speed Suntour freewheel provides half step gearing and an ideal range. The Campagnolo shifters and rear derailleurs were replaced with period correct Shimano 600. The Front derailleur is now Suntour. These changes were necessitated by the freewheel range. New cables, housings, brake pads, and shifter cables round out the build. It rides superbly.










Sweet build. Looks great.
