I think I've posted these builds in other threads, but never here. Both have been in use of late and both feature steep HT/ST angles (74.5x73.5-degrees for the 1989 Klein Performance, and 75x77-degrees(!) for the 1973/4 PX10LE.

The Klein has a 10s Shimano cassette that I fitted to the original 126mm 7s freehub, using a (longer) SRAM 11t lockring nested into the smallest 12t cog.

The Peugeot has a 124mm-spaced FW hub crammed into the frame's 121mm spacing, with a custom 7s D-A freewheel having five largest HG cogs from a 1990's freewheel, and which works quite well with 8s Ergolevers and RD (after I slipped a plastic noodle into the bb cable guide).
