bugger...should have posted in "mechanics" ...apologies

anyone tried DIY frame stretching?
had a look on Sheldons site and his "length of 2x4 method" seems decidely medaieval..

need to open up the back end (matron!) on a Merican to take a 10 speed hub....doesnt seem to difficult to me ...im thinking a lenght of threaded stud and some nuts....wind out slowly inside the drop-outs to the desired width ( or take it a bit beyond)...leave for a while...remove...

?

any thoughts?

nice...hopefully that kind of ad-busting will start appearing on all the bikes...

...or do those Northern MonkeysCarradice make summat?

...ill update with new stuff when/if....

i dropped by Sargent and Co last week...Rob there is able to undertake small braze repairs ( at least he offered to braze on some downtube shifter bosses for me...)....may be worth calling him to see if he can help...http://www.sargentandco.com/

dibs on mechs/brakes and rings if still free...

**molte grazie Senor DiCorsa!
**

so...im getting downtube shifter bosses brazed onto my current project ( a Mercian "roadster" ) and intend to run 9 or 10 spd Dura Ace downtube shifters, but i want an old school vintage Shimano rear mech (purely for the look - im not bothered about period correctness but want a retro-look)
...now im guessing that an old (7 speed?) mech SHOULD have enough reach to accomodate a 9/10 speed cassette...perhaps i could even file away limit stops to get extra reach?
so which mechs would you recommend?
thanks

(apologies for geared question in advance but theres some really knowlegable folk on here...)
