My commuter has a 1960s track frame with 110mm rear spacing, but I've done a terrible thing to it and fitted a 120mm hub as they are much easier to come by. The frame is steel and so flexible enough to bend the stays outwards ever so slightly. Rides like a dream.
What, you mean the Bianchi in the background? You'd see more of it if that girl wasn't in the way.
Another vote for Brooks tape here - it's dead comfy and very had wearing, which is good as I have a strange habit of utterly destroying bar tape.
