Nashbar 7 Speed Freewheels
Anyone have any experience with the Nashbar freewheels? I have an old Nishiki 10-Speed and want to go from the current 5 speed freewheel to a 7 speed and also replace the double crank with a triple crank. I figure 21 speeds is all I need for the moment and I am too cheap to buy a brand new road bike. Nashbar seems pretty legit but I have not ordered from them yet.

Any 7 speed Regina that comes up on ebay is just nuts.
The only caution I will give you is that a bike set up for 5 speed is probably spaced at 120 mm across the inside of the rear dropouts.
6 and 7 speed freewheels were typically put on bikes with 126 mm dropout spacing. Not a ton but enough.
If you are going to use a triple chainring, in which case you only need to put a longer axle spindle on, you will no doubt have more than enough gear range, just put on a wide range 5 speed cluster and you'll be golden.

if you don't need the 7th speed you can find
Suntour Ultra 6 freewheels on e-bay for reasonable
prices. And with the Ultra 6 you don't need to spread frame.
The 7 speed stuff as mentioned is just nuts.
One way of getting it on the cheap is looking for
complete wheelsets, I got a set of campy hubs,
suntour new winner 7 speed freewheel and
mavic Gel330 rims for less than $50.00 !

You can use the same standard 3/32" chain, e.g. an SRAM PC-58, for any 5, 6, 7, or 8-speed setup (been there ... done that; converted a few standard 6-speeds to [ultra] 7-speeds without swapping chains). The 9-speed and 10-speed cassettes require their own special, even narrower, chains.
