Got my hands on a 70's (I think...from what I gather, it appears to be circa '72 or so) Panasonic frame - haven't built a fixed yet myself, so I'm venturing well into the unkown.

My first step is going to be a set of Deep Vs. Question: how do I measure the rear hub spacing on the frame? Inside to inside?

Will follow up with another question pertaining to the bottom bracket...but gotta take a pic of it first.
