It’s always fun with a new project with all the variables involved. Interesting on the freewheel threading, although it may be more market driven. The steerer tube takes the French sized stem though while the bb is standard English. Also interesting that the shim could be used in a bb if ever needed.
A very nice Suntour Compe-V FD from the co-op clamps right onto the 28.1 seat tube just fine also. That would’ve been the stock unit on my 72 Fuji Newest which is now VX equipped. Perhaps I should keep the Compe-V.
