I don't believe that old friction barcons were speed specific, but they did come on 5 speed bikes, I have a Schwinn Sports Tourer on hooks with the optional Schwinn barcons controlling a Campagnolo Gran Sport and 14-34 5 speed Schwinn approved freewheel, the one with the 1" pitch on the two big cogs.
