"3 x 7/8" front derailleur for a 6 gear cassette
I've got a dumpster find that I'm refitting. It has a new 6 gear cassette in the rear, but am having problems locating a 3 ring front derailleur advertised as compatible with the rear set up. Will something like an shimano Atlus 3 x 7/8 fill the bill? Many thanks in advance.

It should.
A Shimano Tourney should be adequate.

Front derailleurs have to work properly with the front chainring sizes. The rear cassette(or freewheel) is irrelevant.
