Bike/frame is a Brian Rourke 853, chrome forks and dropouts, driveside chainstay also chromed. The chrome on the dropouts probably accounts for the extra thickness. I tried one from my friendly lbs mechanic, a fairly bog standard sort of thing you see on Ebay but it was 1mm too narrow and also too thin to file down. I am aware of the surly and the like but too much money and for me a bit too fancy for a bike {in my humble opinion] with such beautiful clean lines.
Thanks for the replies, going to have to think about this.
