Sure - but cost and color not withstanding - that freewheel/chain combination might have been the best Europe had to offer at that time. That would be in terms of performance, not appearance.

Fred:
I never said there was anything wrong with the parts. Quite the opposite, in fact. My point is precisely that there is nothing wrong with them. If they were good enought for "the old man" to put on his bikes, then they're good enough for me. But that doesn't make the bike "wrong" because it has those parts!
