  • Yep, the seller did say 130mm when I bought it.
    However, at first attempt I have struggled to fit my rear wheel in to the drop outs. (It's a pretty basic Mavic CXP 22 on Felt hubs that came on another bike a couple of years back). The front wheel is fine in terms of fit.

    I wondered whether anyone else had any experience with these frames?

  • Frame is from 96–97ish, 9 speed era with 130 being fine. I've stuck modern shimano hubs in a similar era KG243 (next one up of the three steel frames they were producing at the time) without problem. I think I've still got a PDF of the catalogue lying around if you're curious about what the world looked like at the time.

  • Thanks, good to know...

    As far as I know there should be no reason why a 10 speed shouldn't fit either, then? The width isn't any different...

    I will try again - perhaps it just needs a bit of persuasion, though it seems odd that it might.
