anyone know where to get one rebuilt? spare). Put on the shifters and cable holder at the bottom and stuck in the seat. Not tight. Removed a lot of rust and buffed a lot of parts.
Still have lots to do.
Looks good. Pastorbob on this forum does freewheel rebuilds for a very reasonable price.

Also, it is not a good idea to clamp the frame in the middle of tubes like that, as they are very thin (butted tubing) there and can be crushed. Use the seatpost for clamping. If you must clamp to the frame, the top end of the seattube is a good place to do so as it is thicker there.
