Regina America 6sp 13-21 NOS gorgeous freewheel ISO thread for BSC or Italian

Description: A great find - a Regina America six speed 13-21 freewheel. The America is a premium quality freewheel which is ideal for that fancy vintage race bike you're restoring. The cogs are 13,14,15,16,18,21. What is especially nice about this freewheel is that it's ISO. ISO is not the same as British when it comes to freewheels. ISO is a thread that works perfectly (Class A fit) on either true BSC or true Italian threaded hubs. Of course, if you have an actual ISO threaded hub (rare) it is a Class A fit as well. So if you have a mix of hubs in your stash with both threads, this one is perfect! Like all old freewheels, even with all never-ridden parts, you need to drip some fresh oil into the body. We like Phil Wood tenacious oil. But never (and that means ever) use grease in a freewheel (The container your freewheel comes in explicitly says this). This is true for ALL freewheels. Regina freewheels from the factory were oiled - they were not greased! We have a few of these - the photos are representative of the quality you will receive. This is a wide-space freewheel looking for approximately a 126 to 127mm frame/hub spacing. Note that you can use a narrow chain (one intended for up to 8sp) on this freewheel with good results. But use of a wide space chain gives the real solid "ker-chunk" sound that vintage fans like. This item is perfect for that old Cinelli, Masi, Hetchins, Reynolds 531 or Columbus SL bicycle that you have. The fine print: It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine if an item purchased from us is safe for use. Many items, especially vintage items, are best for display-only due to metal fatigue, other degradation from time, and vintage designs that were not subject to modern testing. If you purchase an item from us and you make a determination that the item is not safe for use, contact us for a replacement or refund. But don't use this reason is you simply changed your mind about your need for the item. You take care of us, and we take care of you! This item is being sold by Boulder Bicycle. The staff at Boulder Bicycle has been selling vintage Campagnolo Nuovo Record and Super Record parts since the early 1990's! Note that we keep the business somewhat low key. For now, we may only ship orders every few days. We will adjust the expected shipping times accordingly. Do not ask us to report a lower-than-actual value for items shipped internationally. It is the responsibility of the buyer to pay all customs/vat/import fees.

You will notice many of our prices are often lower than other sellers for similar items. We try to keep things fun and informative and fair for everyone. So unless you see that we are accepting offers on a given item, DO NOT ask if we'll take a lower price - we will say no and get grumpy...
