Are you using friction shifters, then? Personally, I'd go with the 7-speed Nashbar setup.
Old friction shifters (Suntour Cyclone).

You would think that there would be cheap Suntour freewheels like what I want on Ebay, but I haven't seen too many that are NOS and the ones I have seen are not that much cheaper than Harris. I'm not going to buy a used freewheel. Freewheels with big jumps in the cog teeth seem to be much more plentiful and cheaper, but they won't do me any good.

I guess a third option would be to by the corcob Suntour freewheel from Harris and build up a new cluster with a mix of old and new cogs identical with what I have now . Only the 17-T cog is too worn on my existing freewheel and it is the 4th cog on both set-ups so it should work.

And thanks Bikewer for the information about the quality of the Nashbar freewheels.
