Can I use a brand new 9/10 rear mech on an old 5 speed freewheel and late 70s chainset.
In friction mode?

If the chain works in the mech.

I don't want to know why.

The bike has late 70s campagnolo Super Record hubs and Super record chainset.
As you asked ๐Ÿ™‚
Just had the frame refurbed and there's loads of life in it yet. Except I need a rear mech, and rather than use an old item I thought a modern jobbie might give better service.

It might, but not by much, and it'll look well odd.
