116mm sounds like a random width. From what I've read in the past 753 may not like getting stretched out..

116mm OLN on a 753 frame... what was it intended for? some hub gears and coasters might be 116mm but I'd be surprised if there were many 753 frames made for these.....
Was this new frame posted to you?
may be worth a string check to see if one or other of the dropouts has been bent in transit

Alright, bought a frame made from 753, happy with it but rear hub is a job to get in, doesn't sit right in the horizontal drop outs. Measured the rear hub spacing on frame and it's only 116 mm, hub is 120 mm. What should I do about this? It's quite a big difference but then it's steel. Cold set possible?
