Post #1 updated with sizing information. Thx for the heads up.

whats the width of the back axle?

For this early 70s frame I would think it is 120mm, but I will check tomorrow. Normally, if it is 120mm, you should also be able to fit a 126mm wheel. It is steel and one step up is no concern.

nice. but its to tall

Dibs until this evening. I game sent you a message.

...and the Simon found a new happy Simon ...uhm, owner.
