The 13-28 tooth spread on this MAILLARD Super 700 six-speed freewheel gives you the close-ratio progression a 1980 racing drivetrain was meant to have. The 34.7x100 thread cutting is the core specification here — it mounts only to a matching French hub shell, a fact that matters more than almost anything else when you are assembling a period-correct machine.
Mechanical focus: steel sprockets, six cogs, one defined purpose
The unit is listed as steel throughout. The Oxydation field reads Non, so the sprocket teeth and body show no recorded corrosion. No cracks, no bends, no structural faults are noted on the condition sheet. That does not mean the part is new — it is a used six-speed freewheel, and minor cosmetic wear consistent with shelf age is possible. The photographs are part of the description and show the actual unit.

For a five-speed alternative with the same French thread cutting, the Maillard 5-Speed Freewheel 14-26 Vintage Touring Bike Eroica 34.7x100 RC15 uses a wider 14-26 range. A second period option, the MAILLARD 14-26 5-Speed Freewheel 1981 NOS Vintage Eroica 34.7x100 RC14, is listed as new old stock. If your restoration calls for a hub to match, the MAVIC 500 RD vintage hub set front/rear 36H French thread 34.7x100 carries the same thread specification.
