Nuovo Record doesn't work so good with ultra narrow freewheels. Suntour Superbe does. I'm even going with a First Generation Cyclone for a new (old) build with a 13-24 ultra 7 freewheel. If I could get a 13-23 for under $100 anymore I would have gone with another Superbe. That's how much I liked the first one with friction shifting. I was sold on slant parallelogram derailleurs 30 years ago.

And they call me a Ludite......Ha !!
