I can re-gear, i.e. replace your cogs on your Perfect to pretty much any configuration you would like from a 14 small to a 36 big.

I also have a couple of 6 speed Shimano FWs. One has a wider range.

I have two bikes with 6 speed freewheels. There are a couple of really steep hills on the way to work, so I changed out the C&V types for a modern Shimano production freewheels. Cheap as borsht and dumplings. Has a BIG bailout gear I can climb walls with. My chainrings have the same teeth count as yours.
