Bike's built but STILL can't get the chainline sorted out... IRO Jamie Roy, 130mm rear dropout, old Phil Wood SS hub, Sugino 75 cranks, IRO BB...
Took it down to Brixton Cycles and they've advised me to get an old Specialised gizmo that'll give me more thread on the drive side of the hub and thus cure the chainline issue... It screws onto the hub's thread and extends your thread out towards the dropout... None of the guys at the store could remember what it was called, it was apparently quite popular before cassette freewheels came in as you could chop and change about on the same hub i.e. stick a five speed on, a single sprocket/freewheel...
Ring any bells with anyone? This is doin' my feckin' head in... :-/
