The rear width between the dropouts is 126mm. As for whether it fits an 8speed, I think the answer is "probably" - according to the gospel of sheldon brown.
HOWEVER, I haven't tried it, and won't try and tell you that it will for sure. Some one else here may be able to advise. My feeling is that it should be fine though with some gentle persuasion (for whatever that is worth).
As for the seatpost, I think i forgot to mention that it comes with the one in the picture, but if you want to add your own still, just let me know and i'll take it down to the bike shop and throw a set of callipers across them, as I don't know the exact size at the moment.
