Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Standardized rear spacing.

When did 130mm spacing become standard?

early 1990's. I bought a 1989 Paramount OS that came with 128mm spacing, so that it could be set to 126or 130, because you had both 7 speed and 8 speed available at that time.
