Gran Compe 120 rear hub to fit Fuji Roubaix Pro conversion?

Wondering if a rear hub I have knocking about (Gran Compe 120mm) will fit the rear drop-outs of a frame that's on its way. Frame is a Fuji Roubaix Pro, one of the earlier ones in Reynolds 853 that I'd like to make into a conversion. What problems might I have fitting a wheel built around this hub to this frame?

I've been searching online to find the measurement between the rear drop-outs for this frame but so far no joy. And obviously can't measure it yet before it arrives. What sort of range of play is there for fitting a 120mm rear hub into a 'normal' road frame to make a conversion?

Other thing is it has vertical (or at least semi-vertical) drop-outs. Thanks.

the main traingle is 853, the rear stays are fuji db chromoly. spaced at 130 so you'd have 5mm of cold setting on each side.

Cool, that's good to know, thanks. There should be enough flex in the rear stays for them to just pull in by 5mm on either side rather than actually cold setting, non?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
