to put that back to being geared you'll need:
-Shifters (to match deraileur)
-Cables + ends
-Bartape
-New chain (to match the cassette/amount of gears)
-New rear wheel with cassette/freewheel (as stated before, to match your derailleur)
-Possibly a derailleur hanger incase it was taken off (older bikes just have athreaded hole as part of the drop out
-Possibly a new chainset if the double or triple chainset was removed. Maybe just a new chanring if they kept the old cranks.
-If STI shifters there's a possibility you'll also need cable stops on the downtube.
When buying a new rear wheel make sure you get the correct axle length for the frame or else you could be faced with a 120mm axle that you need to squeeze in and if it's a 7 speed cassette or larger (in terms of number of gears) it'll foul the frame. Which is shit.
