Nice find, I would love to find a deal like that just for the components. As was stated a bunch of times a 6spd Shimano HG FW will work just fine with Accushift 6spd, the one and most important thing on making it work together is going to be the chain. Accushift chain is narrow for a 6 & 7spd, using a good 8spd chain is needed and even some 9spd chains work well. Once you have the chain it will shift just as good as any 6/7 Shimano set up does in my experience.

I have a lot of Accushift stuff that I picked up over the years but I always seem to go the Shimano route when building up a bike, but I am now going to put some of it to good use. I am building up a Japanese Bianchi Touring frame with 7spd Accushift XC components, I am using a set of upright touring bars with 7spd Accushift bar cons, a XC Comp long cage RD, XC triple FD, a NOS XC Comp triple crankset. I will have 2 sets of 700c wheels that I can switch out for gearing changes, one set I just built using NOS XC Pro WTB FW hubs with a 13/19 New Winner 7spd FW & the other set will be a NOS XC Comp 7spd Cassette hub with a 13/30 Cassette that I picked up cheap from Loose Screws on closeout & I will be running a NOS Accushift Chain that came with a complete NOS @5000 setup I picked up for $15 a few yrs ago.
