I have just inherited an 80's J.H.Wilson frame with a Shimano 600 groupset. I am in the process of modernising it, including a bigger cassette from 6 to 8spd (for the very steep local hills), wheels (tubeless to clinchers), STI shifters/brifters to replace the downtube shifters. The front set is a 52-42 and the rear is 11-32. I don't think the current rear derailleur will work in this system as the the max cog size is 28 and also, maybe not with friction shifting.
This is my first project ever so I'm still a bit unsure about a few things! Can anyone offer advice in regards to replacing the rear derailleur? Would a 105 work?
