The 1983 Regina Extra Synchro answers a precise gearing question for a classic build: how to get a wide enough range for rolling terrain without altering the period look. With a 14-28T spread across six sprockets, this freewheel gives you a useful climbing ratio while keeping the tight, mechanical feel expected from an Italian drivetrain of that era. The body carries no oxidation, so the steel surfaces remain clean enough to match a carefully curated machine.
Gearing and Build for a Period Drivetrain
The 14-28T configuration is the real point here. The 28-tooth largest sprocket opens up lower gears for longer climbs, while the 14-tooth top gear keeps the high end responsive. This is a six-speed unit, which fits many late-1970s and early-1980s road groups. The steel construction gives the sprockets the durability you need for actual riding, not just display.
