Tight Ends

hrmmm.. Well, I managed to get the wheels mostly on. It's a pre-war Hetchins. I was surprised that this is an issue (the axle thing) Trying to leave as much intact as possible, so now the debate is, if i can't fit the wheels safely, do i a.) file/have filed, or b.) blow a wad on some Hardens. Thing is; as much as I'd like to have it professionally restored some far off day in the future; I just want to RIDE it! I've gone over my current budget already, and I JUST got my wheels... hrmm. Worried that if I file it, I defile it. And I'm not sure I should defile those nice tight ends!
what to do, what to do...? :/

Momentum What kind of frame is it? Some Keirin frames are spaced 110 at the back and also take 8mm axles instead of the standard 10mm. Have you got calipers or a ruler to measure the wideth of the dropout slot? If it's much less than 10mm then you will either need to file the frame or find special hubs if you don't want to file. If the frame is of value to you then I would get the filing done by a framebuilder or reputable shop rather than doing it yourself.
