OK I have decided, as noted elsewhere to start building this project before painting, so I have a few pics of the rear wheel and portacetena. The axle to my suprise seems to just a hair off from 126 at 126.something spacing so lets say it is spaced at 126, and the whole axle is 134.something.

As you can see a 'standard' shimano twisttooth FW fits but the small cog buts against the portacatena. I am loath to increase the axle spacing as I don't want to start worring about bending axles. So until I get one of those Junior FWs from Zach I am on hold.



The skewer will close and lock the wheel in the drops but everything is just tight enough that the wheel won't turn, and of course I don't have the require 4-4.5mm clearance.
