Just measured the frame with my verniers and sheldon-special string-jig!
Dropouts have been opened to 125mm, with DS 4mm further out than NDS.
The hub has 120mm OLN.
A bit of four-be-two on the drive side and we're back down to 120mm bang centre. Smashing.
Centring the wheel is now mostly about dishing so I'll need to get the truing jig out.
This was never going to be a weight weenie build with a 3.4kg F+F, but the 36H back wheel and tyre come in at 1130g, about the same as a kyserium with a GP4000!!
(admittedly once I've got the freewheel on we'll be in trouble, but there's something to be said for a decent set of vintage sprints!!)
