I'm sorry, but what is SIS? I'm a little new to this stuff.
Here's a scan of the original catalog
Based on the catalog, it has Sansin AX-20 hubs with a Suntour PT-55 5 speed freewheel. Would the Deore hubs be an upgrade?
Shifters are friction, I think. Would they be good to go with the Deore 7 speed?
I'll try to post pics of the bike when I get a chance.
