"What's strange are jumps that get larger, then get smaller, and then get larger again. I don't think I've ever come across that. "
I agree that it's strange, but I have come across it. I just obtained a totally stock 1985 Schwinn. The 1985 Catalog says it comes stock with a 6-speed Shimano freewheel with the following cogs: 14-15-17-21-24-26 That's right, jumps as-you-go of : 1 - 2 - 4 - 3 - 2 I think that qualifies as bizarre, by my contemporary standards. The bike arrived Friday, and is in fact bone-stock (including tires). I counted the freewheel cogs and they are exactly as specified in the catalog. No, I'm not going to use it. I replaced it with a period 6-speed Shimano 600 freewheel that I built with cogs: 13-15-17-19-22-25 Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
