The Suntour wide range freewheel was a good find. At the time I made the change to a wider range, silly me forgot all the things that needed changing! My Nuovo Record rear changer could only handle what, 14-28? I wanted more. So I realized I needed a Rally changer, and found one NOS. Of course I needed a larger freewheel and found this Suntour that's 14-34, also found NOS. Once I got those parts in, it dawned on me immediately that I'd need a few more parts: a longer shift cable, and a a new longer housing in the back that runs from the chain stay to the Rally. But of course I needed a new chain, too, one a bit longer. The chain I had been running was a Shimano "Ultra Glide" with "bowed outer plates" which allowed for easier shifting; I'd had that on since the late 1970s. That chain was no longer available, and I thought a new one would be an easier find that it was. I found a proper sized 10-speed chain, buried at a local sporting goods shop amongst the chains designed for 6, 7 and larger cogs, the chains getting progressively narrower for less and less spacing between the gears.

Right now the bike is very close to being completely re-assembled. Derailleurs all installed, just needing final adjustment. Brakes are installed. I'm debating on dumping the Weyless seat post and returning to the original Campy. I've decided to change the pedals, and will sell the extremely rare Weyless set; though nice, and fully rebuilt, they were never original to the bike and thus no love lost in selling those. Ditto for the seat post.

Those Campy brakes are truly amazing. Something like 25 or 26 distinct parts, and they are a dream. They install easy, adjust easy, and stay adjusted. The poor man's version, the Weinmann 500s, we used to keep in our shop as replacements. The Weinmanns were a bit simpler. I am constantly infuriated by these modern "V-Brakes" that I'm seeing on a lot of mountain bikes. Not once has anyone brought a bike to me for repair that had them adjusted properly, and on some of them they simply cannot be adjusted; the quality isn't there. My older Trek 930 had simpler cantilever brakes that stayed adjusted for over 20 years.

But nothing beats those Campy brakes.
