Uniglide freehub?

Frame shows evidence of having had rear rack braze-ons at one time, which coincides with the rather long wheelbase/slack geometry setup as my modified image of the bike (as it once was) showed.

The forged Huret drops without a built-in derailer hanger is most certainly an interesting - and distinctive - feature. Not common to see a forged drop without a hanger built in.

What threading BB does this have? English, French or Italian? I'm willing to guess English or French. Let me know.

Somehow, the idea of a tourer with a non-built in derailer hanger and originally pained green gives me visions of a Dawes Galaxy, but I don't believe they ever used Prugnat lugs such as these - they also had nutted brakes, if I recall right.

Take care,

Indeed.

To the O/P: The entire assembily shouldn't be removed - only the freewheel cogs. The first two cogs are threaded onto the freehub body. Use two chainwhips - one to hold the freewheel from spinning, the other to pull the cog off.

the Huret dropout originally did have a derailer hanger, it's since been removed along with the brazed on casing stops.


i figured the cogs came off, but couldn't figure it out. thanks for the how-to!


oh and it seems like the bike was green with blue details. i found some blue overspray on the fork and with the green near the seat post.
