If you change the rear to a cassette hub, you will likely need to re-space the drop outs. I'm guessing your current freewheel hub is 126mm. Spacing.out to 130mm would be okay. My opinion would be just to change the chainrings to give the higher gear. The older 5 ans 6 speed wide range freewheel

I have both Shimano and TRP RRL levers and prefer the TRP. For me the Shimano levers are a bit small, and I also frequently ride with the end of the hood in the middle of my palm, and prefer the more rounded shape of the TRP to the pointy Shimano hoods. I take a 9½ or 10 in EU glove sizes, whic

A 24/36/46 triple will shift beautifully, and the 105 double, as long as it's not one of the oddball current types, should work just fine. I've used my 105 FD-5500 from 1999 on rings with 26/44/48 and 24/36/50. I'm not a fan of adding more cogs(and the hub required) in the rear if the desired

If your current cogset is a freewheel it probably has no more than 7 cogs which limits the number of different gears. How many gears you need depends on your own preferences: how high a high -- you've said you want a higher one and yes, 70" is pretty low; how low a low -- with the 24/34 I assume y
