Subject: [CR]French Freewheel Body

I was going thru a bunch of my old bike parts and found a real odd ball. A five speed Metric (French Threaded) Suntour freewheel body. No cogs, just the body. I believe I used it on a Gitane tandem I owned in the early 70's. I have no idea why it has no cogs, except I put a Phil Wood 48 spoke rear hub on the bike because we broke so many spokes. I may have used the cogs on a new English FW body.

ANYWAY, my question, is this thing as rare a hen's teeth and desired by the Francophiles of the world or is it a piece of antiquated junk that nobody wants?

I also found a five speed Suntour Perfect FW 14-34T that I would bet is also from the tandem. I assume it falls in the antiquated junk category.

All thoughts welcome
