Had a lengthy discussion with the framebuilder and the plan is to braze on a hanger too then fade some white/light blue/grey into the original pearly white or just mask off and paint over the bare metal. Maybe even respace to 120 but its 126 atm so prob not really worth the hassle I don't think. Stuck an old tubular wheel in the workshop today and has about 18+mm space between the curve and tyre edge in the original dropout.
Just need to make the drop outs slot on the chainstay deeper and have the track ends facing down (will be level anyway) ever so slightly to give more clearance at the wishbone when the wheel is deeper in the dropouts.
All im gonna say is it will be tight..
