Good points. And I just found some 6-speed Shimano 14-34 freewheels at very low prices. The trick was to search for 14-34 rather than 14-32. The difference between 32 and 34 is small enough, and I'm not that picky. My chainrings are now 42-52. I live in a hilly area, and I use this bike to haul stuff, so a low lowest gear is handy.
Oops. I spoke too soon. Everyone is out of stock.
