  small tip! I also have that VO Porteur bar and I'd recommend wrapping the bartape from the end to the middle! Otherwise it feels uncomfy when it's wrapped from middle to the end!
  I still have mine the "wrong" direction but when they come off I'll do it like that!

  During the driving you'll notice you slip forward and therefore against the wrapping direction!
  just my 2 cents

  So you need a 6-speed (or narrow 7) screw-on multiple freewheel and some kind (pretty much any kind) of rear dérailleur with a more or less matching lever. I'd stick to 1×6 for simplicity's sake.

  yes but which period correct levers, derailleurs and crank? :)
  those miche monolithic are hard to find and the suntour blaze look crap.

  thanks

  Is that a gear lever boss on the down tube? What kind, and width, is the rear hub?

  Rear hub is 126mm, low flange, freewheel?
  Thats the braze on for the cable on the down tube. levers were mountet on the stem i think.

  what to do with my GFs bike?
  previous owner removed original cranks, derailleurs and SSPed it.
  Parts that are originally on it:
  Miche competition? hubs
  Miche headset
  Modolo Corsa brakes + levers
  Mavic 190 FB rims

  I've found the exact same bike in a local bikeshop but with different components on. hard anodized Modolo brakes, Miche Monolithic crankset and Suntour Blaze shifters and derailleurs.

  so what components should I put on it to make it multispeed again?

  

  

  

  

  thanks

• Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

  is a modern front lamp run on batteries made to look like an old dynamo style, come with crème bikes, not too sure whether you can get them in shops but if you have a word with crème distributer Hotlines Uk, they would sort you out

  thanks!
