The front derailleur's out there seem to only support 9/10 gears?
Is this right? or am i missing something?
Cheers,

The current way of describing deraileurs is to say how many cogs on the rear freehub that they can handle. So yours would be a six speed. A nine/ten speed would still work with your hub, but some have narrower cages for the chain to pass through, so you may have to use a compatible chain. There are a lot of older deraileurs that would work fine. Look for something labled as 7 or 8 speed compatible. The other issue would be if you want indexing. Then you need to have a deraileur/freewheel/shift lever combination that work together.
