I installed a 2-bolt "Porta Catena" and matching shifter on the '85 Paramount, but instead of installing longer axle and spacer, I simply removed the smallest cog from a 7-speed New Winner freewheel. So now it's a six-speed, with the little trigger to drop the chain to where the 7th cog would origanally have been. After all, who could possible need a 12t at my age?
