Almost every SS conversion in town is a "Lazy Mechanics' Special" - SS freewheel spun straight onto a 126mm rear hub. No redishing, no removal of spacers; just the freewheel sitting too far inboard, accompanied by nearly all the RH hub spacers exposed to the world.

Chainline is almost always off to the left on these conversions, and they're aesthetically disgusting. Nevertheless, they seem to work, and I've been guilty of a few such conversions simply to compete with the local C-list market folk - who have no appreciation for time, effort, or quality.
