I still run 7 speed *freewheels* on two of my Rivendells . Like the 7 speed cassettes, it allows almost zero dish on a 135mm hub. Hopefully, the 7 speed cassettes will be individual sprockets and not all riveted together on common carriers so that one can customize their own gearing. I really like the new 14-34 Shimano freewheel that Riv sells for only $18!!! (when in stock.) I am getting ready to put an NOS 12-34 Suntour New Winner (was somewhat more than $18) on the Bombadil with Ultegra 8 speed shifters on Rivendell thumb shifter mounts so I can hopefully index my Altus.
