I dug out an old racing bike recently, and need to replace the chain and probably the cassette, but I can't remember the spec. I don't have the bike at hand to check, either.
It's a Peugeot, and probably dates from the late 1980's. It has a 7-speed Shimano 105 groupset, Biopace chainrings(!), indexed downtube shifters, and brake levers with concealed cables. I have a feeling it might be "HyperGlide".
I'm almost certain it will have a 130mm OLN rear hub and a cassette, but is it possible it predates that and has a screw-on freewheel etc?
It looks like 7-speed cassettes aren't exactly common nowadays! Any recommendations of what to buy, and from where?
Also, what's a good chain which would be compatible - something like the Wippermann 8SX?
