Thread and Freewheel capacity for 80's bike.
I have an early 80's Motorbecane Champion Team I bought new and have Campy Hubs with a Regina 5 speed freewheel and Record shifter. Actually a set of large and low flanage hubs.
Does it have different threads(French)
Is a replacement freewheel available? If so where is it available?
Is a rebuild kit and cogs available?

If the hubs are Campy, I expect the threads are Italian which is compatible with ISO/English so replacement freewheels should be available. The Third Hand lists two different Shimano 5-speed freewheels which will be English threaded and should work. Look here:
