nice Ciocc, btw
Agreed on all points.
I re-spaced my old Super Course many years ago after simply squeezing 130mm wheels in for a few years, which worked fine. I used the 2x4 method and used a crescent wrench to align the dropouts. It was very easy. I'd like to throw it on a frame table this time around and observe the process being done "properly". Sort of like an educational field trip
